I'll Either be in my polo turbo or my golf hopefully the turbo ;)

think you can link up with the 'london convoy'

11oclock at jct8 of the M1

its 1 junction up from when you spring of the m25

Don't think we'll be that far up by 11. I'm leaving Cornwall at 7ish to get to Exeter for 9.30ish dependant on traffic and then it's a good few hours from Exeter to where you are. It's a very roundabout way too, I reckon this is our best route.

I'm actually considering leaving earlier and making the leaving time from Exeter more like 9. We've got almost four hours from Exeter services to the Aquedrome.

Yeah I'm with you on the m5 route, a lot nicer roads then the a303, 9 oclocks fine with me mate.

Means we have to leave here mega early, but it should get us to the site by about 1 at the latest.

Hoping the drive up goes smoothly! :D

Haha yeah hope it goes well.

aa yeah that route makes sence.... see you there then !!

It's the most direct for us! Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Haha I'm from Lyme Regis so can either come exeter or meet you a little further up the m5!

No A303? Not coming past me then :( Wouldn't have been able to get to the meet but would have happily stood on an overpass to get some photos of you guys!

That's a shame, why can't you come?

@heathyboyjack I was planning on getting to Exeter for before 9, and leaving shortly after. Exeter is a breakfast stop and I'm meeting Chris there. So join us at Exeter and we'll go from there!

I know a few people from chard/Taunton going in similar Polos to mine!

I'll see what happens nearer the time,

Could always do a Taunton Deane stop?

  • Author

Yeah it's on the way

That's a shame, why can't you come?

On call at work for the weekend :(

Exactly, it's on the way. So would be quite easy to stop for 10 minutes if you like dude. Not sure what time we'd be through there. If we left Exeter services no later than 9.15ish then probably around 10-10.15? I've not often driven past it so not sure how long it takes.

Prob 40-50 mins to taunton so yeah an hour lol

Edited by Buxton

Maps reckons 27 minutes. So depending on traffic I'd say we'll leave Exeter at 9.30 latest and aim for Taunton Deane for around 10.15? I wanna stop for breakfast at Exeter, gonna be leaving at 6.30/7ish. :lol:
