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.

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?

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.

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. smile

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

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

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

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 frown 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 confused I'll check the forum before I leave tomorrow.
Thanks, Ross.
