I will stick to my plan in terms of timing Dan, we can always stooge for the 15mins Cezar needs to meet up at 7:15am.

If we get there earlier, sounds like you'll be hanging around! Lol.

I know Cezar, I'll still set off as planned at 5:30am, going to be a long day, but I'm sure i'll enjoy every second of it!

Should sleep well when we get to the hotel!

Nice thing for me and anyone closer to Kent is we will be roughly half way by the time we reach Toddington services, so we can probably afford to take a 15-20min breather/restroom break anyway.

Wow! That puts it in perspective for some of the rest of us! Me included!

Hoping for good weather. Long range forecast is overcast but fair which I'd be more than happy with.

Hi Dan, where do you think the first pit-stop will be after leaving Derby and around what Time? I won't be able to meet at Derby and was hoping to join en route. 

I'm coming from Manchester airport area...

Hey Dan,

So AA route planner reckons it’s roughly 75 miles from my house to Toddington Services, and should take around 1hr 22mins to get there.

It also reckons it’s 162 miles from mine to Lexus Derby, and should take around 2hrs 48mins.

I was planning to be on the road by 5:30am, so in theory that would mean we would be at Toddington services around 7am, and would reach Lexus Derby around 8:30am or so....

Thing is we won’t know how bad traffic will be or  if there will be any accidents or delays, so do we think this sounds ok, or should we aim to leave earlier? 

It’s not a bank holiday, and pretty early for folks to be on the roads in force I reckon, but we are travelling a fair old way, so happy to go with the flow. 

Cheers,

 

Pete

Hi Pete. I will meet you at Toddington for 7am too. Cheers

@Comedian Are you coming Sean? I think you were a yes.

 

Embarrassingly I forgot it's my wife's birthday weekend; I will see what the lay of the land is and get back to you.

If I never post again............

[Big Rat]

@Comedian Being a builder and all that it’s usually the wife I find buried in the back garden..... under an unfinished conservatory..... did I say that 😳😂😂

Now then chief. If you check the events section there's the full itinerary in there so you can see roughly where we'll be and when

I lay a pound to a penny we will be the noisiest ones, think we should all line up and start on the count of 3 at Derby, see if they can/will record it, all pipes aiming the same way 😂🤣
