After a nice long drive down to Bradwell Power Station the other day, I've decided this will be the destination of the next meet's drive smile From the Halfway House, this is a great stretch of roads (for Essex) with alots of good photo/ filming opportunities near the power station. Here's one I snapped while I was there last week for a taster...

click to enlarge

A coop without as many dings and faded paint would look very nice here smile

There are also lots of parking spots at the side of the roads leading up to here you could catch some great video of a convoy from. I'm going to get in contact with a mate of mine who works with a filming company (They do X factor and did the first few series of New Top Gear). He reckons he can get hold of some filming gear and could certainly do some decent editing.

Here's the route. Essex Meet IV drive

I think the format should run something like this;

  • Meet at the Halfway House at midday 12:00
  • Get some lunch in there if required
  • Leave for Petrol at 13:00 (I'd suggest everyone filling up)
  • Leave in convoy for Bradwell Power Station
  • Meet at first filming spot (approx 14:15)
  • go from there

This is what we need Dan, feedback on good routes for subsequent meets. Compared to Wales, we're pretty lacking for good roads around here, but we can still string together a few to put a decent enough route together smile

Diddy, does Morrisons Erith work for you or would you prefer the services just north of the Dartford tunnel? If you can come to the Morrisons there is a nice dual carriageway stretch with RBs leading up to the M25?

AudioGuy,

Will you be starting near home or your parents place? If the former do you want to hook up with Tolga, Diddy and I on the way out?
