    I'm thinking we set off about 1pm ish on Friday from Ferrybridge if that is ok with you lot. I think it's just Me & Sam, you and Jon so far Mark.

    Brookie are you still heading down the m6? What time are you expecting to get there for?

    Yeah, I'm still going the M6 way. Me and the other half will be setting off from Preston at 12, so am expecting to arrive around 4pm.

    Cheers for the heads up. Theres a pub called the chequered flag just round the corner, we could just meet in there if we're early?

    there is a supermarket in corby so last minute refreshments can be purchased and time killed.
    1pm sounds a tad early if we cant get in til 5. i'll be there though - Jon is pathologically late, so we probably wont set off til after 1.

    Yeah I think you are right, Say meet at 2 then. If I remember last time we waited awhile for Ste who got stuck in traffic that's why we ended up a bit late.

    See you at 2pm ish.


    Edited the times, slept on it and I think meeting any earlier than 2 will be silly if we aren't in till 5.

    From my old guy's memory . We stopped to meet Darren at a Diner, but Phil misunderstood and went to the next services, which is a different Diner 10 miles further down - then ensued a bit of Keystone Cops down the A19 and A1 till we eventually regrouped at Wetherby, got chucked all over the place by security because a Mondeo and 2 Nissans, an HGV does not make (who knew!) and thennn, I seem to remember a navigational snafu at Ferrybridge too. Think that was Gwyn's sat nav at fail. So, all in all; it was a fairly elaborate Northern Monkey Benny Hill Theme Tune type farce of an afternoon. But hey, none of us broke down!
