      Default Cribbs Causeway - Northern Monkey Convoy (M6 > M5)

      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?

      Come on Dave, it's down to you to get as many Northerners as possible!!!

      How about if we tell them Bristol is renowned for gravy and the 30th of Aug is Bristol's annual gravy day?

      Good thinking Dave, looks like it'll be a lonely convoy so far though...

      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.

      Northern Monkey Convoy LOL's!! I'm still 50/50 on this so far, if I do make it Dave- I'll see you and George there

      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.
