I've put this as a separate thread to identify and list *confirmed* convoy meeting places and times, so they don't get lost in the clutter of the main thread. Please post here *only* if a convoy, its starting location, and time to meet is definite, or to add your name to one of the convoy lists. Use the main Brooklands thread or PM to discuss the actual details - this thread is just for reference. You might like to cut'n'paste the format and layout below... Leaving from: Sainsbury's Supermarket car park, Shenley Road, Hemel Hempstead, HP2 7PRLeaving at: 08:00 sharpGoogle Map: Sainsbury's Suggested route from North: Exit M1 at J9 and follow B487 south. Convoy members: - Barnacle

Reckon there could be 8 of us coming from the West. Now where/when?!
Potential Convoy members: patch234 - M4 from Bristol or Oxford, M25 Countrycrusing- M5, M4, M25 doing the hill climb Mrs CC- M5, M4, M25 Knight7660- Windsor M4 Duncan78 & The Wife (assume if coming up A34 Duncan?!) Hammy - A34/M4 J13 Chieveley Svcs/M25 anticlock Jnc 12 MiniMetaller (James) + Dad (Ian) - M4 from Bristol Hovedan - M4 from Bristol
Probably best meet nr Bristol, something like 1) Services nr Bristol (Countrycruising, Mrs CC, Patch, Minimetaller, Myself) 2) J12 Chieveley Svcs, (Hammy and Duncan 78?) 3) Knight7660 somewhere nr Windsor (perhaps Bracknell cut through?)
What do you all think?

What do you all think? I'm going to cut across from Worcester and join the M4 at Swindon Junction J15. It's saves fuel and cutting back on myself from Worcester. Anyone know the nearest services from here going East? I'll speak to Joe and other local's to see what they are doing but this is a good point for me. Perhaps we can arrange a pit-stop at the nearest services (to check oil)

Membury Services would be closest. I'm thinking of joining at J12/Chieveley as well. I need to get a ticket on the door.

I'm coming down the A34 and Skinflint has PM'd me this morning to say that he is meeting at Chievley too. Should we focus on Cheiveley - the advantage is that its one service area for all directions so it will be easy to meet people coming from different directions without a massive detour.

What do you all think? M4 people - according to Googlemaps its about 1hr-1hr 15 from J12 (Chieveley Svcs) to Brooklands via M25/A3 depending on traffic.

Jame5, how about if somebody phones you when we are x minutes away? I think a Satnav set to go to Junction 8 would give a pretty accurate countdown.
