Anyone planning a convoy up from Bristol?

cr33ch mentioned one but I can't find any details.


May be worth aiming to stop in at the Old Spot on the way.

More than welcome to meet us at The Old Spot (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&safe=off&ie=UTF8&q=The+Gloucester+Old+Spot+pub&near=Gloucester&fb=1&split=1&gl=uk&cid=15391729874005549158&li=lmd&ll=51.937492,-2.152784&spn=0.006324,0.013797&z=16&iwloc=A) if you don't meet up with the Bristol lot before hand mate.

Sounds like a plan starting to formulate then:)

Best meet point for Bristol folk would probably be Cribbs Causeway. It's not much of a detour off the motorway for anyone travelling up either. Post Code - BS10 7SR

Aim to leave there 1330h perhaps, so should give us time to get to the Old Spot and have a 10min chat before the final leg of the trip.

We used the KFC at Cribbs as the meet point for Japfest, so makes sense to meet at the car park there. (The one next to the cinima)

pick us out a nice spot then :). No trees cows sheep or seagulls please. Oh and not too close to the bogs either. Close to the shower is ok though :wack:

I'll already have beer so won't care by then anyway :D

Cr33ch is working will 4 I believe so he wont be making it, I have work till 3:30, and the Mrs is working till 4:30... Believe a few of us are looking to convoy 6:30-7, so if any of the later Bristol lot want a group to cruise down with we will be about. :)

Thanks MR PARR!

Looks like it's just me then, and possibly crouch-21 (if your going up at that time?)

I'll hopefully aim to hopefully join up with the others at the Old Spot.

I had better go and clean the car!:whip:

Seeing as it appears to be just me going up at that time....

I am now probably going to aim for a bit later in the afternoon and I doubt I'll make it to the Old Spot for 1430h.

Crouch-21 If you were heading up to get to Cribbs for 1330, my apologies.

I'll go and try and find the C-spanners now.

I've figured I'm on holiday now so am getting ready at a leisurely pace!! I'm also doing all the house work as that normally gets done on a weekend and I won't be around to do it.

All my batteries have finished charging at least:thumbs:Yay.

I don't know that I'll be quite that late. I'll see how it goes, though it would be a more interesting journey with other 200's.

Might see you at Yate.:thumbs:

Spanners are packed.

I've memorized the map, it's straight forward assuming we come off at junction 9.
