Brooklands convoys

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...

I will come if there is a car wash in Brooklands somewhere...........does anybody know?

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.

Are there any convoys coming near or through the M40 High wycombe or M4 Maidenhead area?

Think Duncan78 is coming on the Pompey express, M27 east, A3 and er that's it

Yep, Membury would be the one. What ungodly hour would we need to make it?

yep.

+ an Alfa (if he can make it)

Technics, check the "Brooklands" thread, I think PeteP mentioned one at Sainburys near by I think

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.

Anyone coming from Essex area? I'm rubbish with directions but have -nav. Might be best me joining the Clacket M25 group?

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

You'll have to scrub me off the SE convoy I'm afraid. I've just been diagnosed with chicken pox

Would be great to tag along, can meet anywhere from reading onwards, any suggestions?

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.

Oh no, sorry to hear that Jon

Sounds like a plan, any ideas what kind of time (approx of course!) that would be?

How about 7:30 at Chieveley Services M4? If you call me about this time James I'll keep in touch and let you know when we are approaching. 07854 981744

Cool, cheers mate , i'm picking a couple of mates up on the way so i'll give you a bell at 7.30 and jump on the M4 at jct 8 when your a few minutes away. See you sat.
James

The Bristol lot above aim to be on the M4 by 7am, its a long stretch to cover Bristol to Chieveley in 30 mins, an hour is probably more realistic at borderline legal speeds.

8am at Chieveley is probably most realistic.

Well 8am it is then What say the others?

I'll aim to be there at about 7.45, its only 20 mins from my house down to Chievley services.

I'll aim for 7:45 as well. Jim's got me a ticket so hopefully no hassles on the gate

Yeah, I was going by reaching Chieveley at about 8am. Is that the right time to aim for? What time should we be at Brooklands?

James

I also intend to be at Chieveley between 7.45-8. Takes between an hour to hour and a quarter to get to Brooklands from there, going by AA.

I am leaving from SOUTH WALES M4 Magor Services at 06:00 prompt.

Is anyone taking the M11/M25?

Might be worth diverting for this one, Anthony?

Thanks Neil. I'm convoying from Cambridge with a mate who has a 156GTA, but also have to swing via stansted mountfitchet to pick my dad up. So an 8am meet up at Hemel might be a bit too heroic for me, but I'll see what I can do.

Ok, if it's gone five past, we'll have gone!

But it's only five minutes off the M25 up the M1 north.

Ah so there goes my plan for a fashionably late arrival.

No worries though, I'll just see how it goes in the morning.

Hi

I'm coming down reasonably early from St Ives, near Cambridge - could meet you at Birchanger Services.

Burty
07799 470865

i am going but i'm meeting EDz and a few alfa's and ferrari's in enfield then heading for the north circular / A40 / M25 or just the M25 , i don't know what route we are taking untill tomorrow morning , i'll see you there tony

I'm getting to Clackets early to use the hoover if they have one do we know?

Where abouts at Clackets Lane are we meeting?
Service Area Car Park or Fuel Station (the natural home of a Fiat Coupe )
I take it it's the west bound side (southern side of the caridgeway) you'll be meeting at I would look a right plonker on the other side

Shall we say @ the fuel station as guessing there's quite a bit of room there. (or at least migrate there bang on half past ready to go). And yes south side clockwise definitely. See you all there.

Cyborg and all,
I have realised that there is a long drive between M23 and getting back round to the Clackets Lane services can someone please call me on ? when you're passing junction 6 and I'll come up the slip road and tag onto the end of the convoy. Can someone acknoledge this request and take my number with them and either PM me or respond in some way so that I'm not left sitting on the A22 for ages wondering if you've gone by or not I'll check the forum before I leave tomorrow.
Thanks, Ross.

Here's one of the M4 convoy arriving at Brooklands.

Did anybody know the random Alfa 156 who slotted in the convoy behind me on the M25?

The one that got buzzed by the unmarked Range Rover you mean as he tried to fly past us all

Thanks skinflint, see I've a brake light out on the high level bar. Joy. Least you didn't snap any white smoke puffing from my exhaust!
