GTI Inters itinerary thread Sat/Sun 2009

[Macdaddy]

As discussed on the Inters thread :

Saturday

For anyone wishing to join the Northern convoy or meet prior to entering Bruntingthorpe grounds this is my suggested itinerary.

I'm aiming to get there for 10am , Any earlier and from previous experience its just spent in traffic queues anyway.

Set off from Charnock Richard Services for 0630am prompt.

Stop off at Lymm Services around 7am giving anyone chance to grab a coffee at the Mcdonalds, And departing at 0730 Prompt.

Final meet at Junction 21 of the M1 with any southern convoy (Leicester marriott junction LE19 1SW) for around 0930hrs and onwards to Bruntingthorpe.

Any suggestions welcomed for any further stops or meet prior to Entering the grounds.

Anyone interested in this convoy please post up so we've ideas of numbers.

Saturday evening

Meet within the Marriott Leicester bar area for around 18.30-19.30

Aim to get a taxi/walk for around 19.30 - 20.00 ish

Arrive at the local Toby carvery inn where the beer is cheaper and also the carvery aint at all bad.

( Junction of B4114 St Johns and B582 Blaby rd LE19 2BJ) Robin hood PH or simular if memory serves me right.

This has worked well and been a good laugh the last few years but again suggestions welcome.

Sunday

Meet within the Marriott car park for 0900 for anyone wishing to partake in pictures or as per Gaz's video last year the convoy setting off.

Departing the Leicester Marriott ( LE19 1SW ) car park for 0930hrs Prompt again to arrive for around 10am.

Same here only ever stopped at knutsford i did not even know lymm had a services so that is my only reason really ! lol

[Macdaddy]

Lymm is as easy as Knutsford, plus theres Mcd's for breakie/coffee,

We can stop anywhere tbh, just after ideas.

[Pipster007]

[George]

I'm interested in going now, which day is best to go? Are there any clubstand passes free ?

Thanks

[dazr32]

right gents think its about time we finally decided on meeting spot and time as a couple of places have been mooted, i am up for wherever.

[DWolfUK]

Final meet at Junction 21 of the M1??? - seems like the best place as its not far from the grounds and should be easy enough.

[dazr32]

i guess ther will be a few meeting places so i will go with the flow. where are the morthern boys meeting ?????and what time

[DWolfUK]

from the original post:

Set off from Charnock Richard Services for 0630am prompt.

Stop off at Lymm Services around 7am giving anyone chance to grab a coffee at the Mcdonalds, And departing at 0730 Prompt.

Final meet at Junction 21 of the M1 with any southern convoy (Leicester marriott junction LE19 1SW) for around 0930hrs and onwards to Bruntingthorpe.

so depending on where youre coming from choose the meeting point that suits you i guess. Of course if somebody wants to meet at an extra services we can drive through and collect them but it obviously wouldn't be a stop and they would have to be ready unless we made good time.

[Paulie]

Well I will be going down A1 M18 M1

[dazr32]
