| I'm joining the M5(S) at Junction 6. Not sure how many are coming down this route but if there are a few of us we could arrange a convoy? | | |  | |

| Dave, I think I'm coming now. I'll be joining the M5 at the M50 Junction. If the convoy comes off M5 onto the roundabout I could wait there?

| Ok George, guess it really depends on how many are coming down. If there's only a few of us we may as well drive straight there imo. | | | | |

Multimaps stating 6 hr return journey for me-I'm sure that could be more like 5 hrs with some 'spirited' driving | | | | |

| Dave, are you still willing to pop off the M5 at the M50 junction, find me on the roundabout and pop back on?

| George, happy to do this. Looking on Google maps (satellite view), the island seems to have a bit of road in the middle. Can you drive onto this bit or is it not meant to be used? | | | | |

| Dan, further to our chat. I reckon we meet here at 1:15pm? MAP
George, hopefully you spot this.. I think the road on the M50 roundabout is private. Do you still want to meet with me and Dan on the way down? If so, name the place.  | | | | |
