[Buglet]

A12 M25 M4 A33 if anyone's going that way :)

[Blugg]

I'm easy as i'm on the M40 and M4 join at High Wycombe :p

So i can either drive up towards Birmingham and meet at a services there :cool:

Or drive down the M4 towards Bristol and meet at a services along there :cool:

Or just drive the 10 min Journey to Reading on my lonesome and Secure the area for the arrivals :o

[Nedi]

I live on A3(M) portsmouth end, anyone coming from that area? I was thinking we could meet at the services (hotel & McDonalds) at Petersfield and convoy from there?

[Bunrab]

I have no idea what way I'm going, but i'll be heading down from nr Leicester so I guess it'll be M1, then the A something ;)

i'm south of that on the A3, but maybe some people could meet on the services on the M3 and i could meet them there?

[ff_rabbit]

I can go either clockwise or anti-clockwise round cos it's about the same distance either way round.
If most are gonna do South mimms on the way then I'll be up for that.
Is there a time set?

11:30 to leave for 12:00 as it will take an hour roughly to Reading, well at least that's what the roadplanner says :laughing:

As above Nedi but maybe a bit far for you, thought Graham was meeting closer. So many Reading Convoy threads now, hard to keep track of who's where :o

[Nedi]

oh yeah it is, means i have to go past it, sigh. oh well looks like i'll be on my own then, buglet offered but i didn't realize she was over other side aswell...

i can't believe i can be the only bug coming up from the south.. crazy

thanks for getting back to me though

Delenn is going up one of the roads you are :) see the Reading post in chat forum.

[Nedi]

ok thanks, i've pm'd deleen to ask thanks for your help

[ff_rabbit]

Is there one side to south mimms services? or does it have one service areaon the AC/W and one on the C/W side??
If it's 2 sides, what side are we all gonna meet, and where?

[VDubster]

You bring up a good point there, I haven't a clue either so if anyone could shed some light on this it would be very appreciated.

Vdubster

Only 3 days to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to Reading

[Blugg]

Judging by the postcode search there only seems to be one on one side :)

[Shamrockez]

IIRC for south Mims the services are one one side - but there's a car park either side.

[whitecab]

hi are you joining us at southmims. regards whitecab

[ff_rabbit]

Satelite pics show it as just one site.
Shall we all meet up by the main entrance, rather than drive round the car park looking for bugs?

Not sure everyone has the internet at home, so SOUTH MIMMS is the safest bet at this stage in the game ;) :)
