Trax convoy info

[cornishtaz]

Post any convoy info or meeting points in here.

I'll probably meet you all at Silverstone as I pass 1/4 of the entrance.

[WhelanUK]

Me & [MENTION=117]SI SRI[/MENTION] are coming from Coventry so will prob travel together. Would like to meet people closer to Trax so we can all go together.

[cornishtaz]

I think the best place might be southbound Northampton services M1 J15A

[SI SRI]

Sounds close enough for everyone to meet. Then at least we have a full club convoy and if they are taking pictures of cars coming in then that would be a great pic.

[cornishtaz]

Gates open at 6am for club entry but the queues start early especially from M1 direction. I've seen a queue miles long the other direction is usually about 1/2 mile.

What sort of time do people want to get in? Public entry is from 9am.

I was thinking more like 6:30 mainly due to the queues.

We could drive down together if u wanted, I do stick to 70/75 though lol

Could meet at 35

[Tottybye]

Maybe, I don't usually go below 80 :/

[Rusty2009]

No speeding when in the convey thou chaps you are representing the Forum... I'M sure Baz or Tucpal will make the rules clear about what is expected of all you lovely members.

[cornishtaz]

Convoy rules are you travel at the slowest cars speed always keeping the car behind in view. There are always alot of police around as they know alot of young lads like to show off.

56mph it is then u guys hahahah. Apparently 56 is the most Eco speed

[Tottybye]

I'm not stupid with my speed. Once u get anywhere near silverstone police will be everwhere

[tucpal]

looks like a early start then what time will you all be a northhampton services
so i can work out what time to meet at knutsford m6 and pick up along the m6 were needed
but looking like 4 ish start for me knutsford

[tucpal]

i thought you were allowed to speed at silverstone

[Rusty2009]

Baz which way are you going I'm going up the A34 M40 is that on your route would be good to pick you and Lewis up somewhere along the way?

[cornishtaz]

I've not decided whether to go M4/A34 or A420/A34 but could meet you at Cherwell Services A43/M40 junction

[Rusty2009]

is that the last services on the A34 with the little chef & BP station?

Done a map

[Rusty2009]

[cornishtaz]

Yes mate if we get there early enough there'll be time for a coffee

[Rusty2009]

I was thinking of leaving mine 3:30 4:00 as I know you said you was hoping to get in the que by 6am

[Cameron UK]

We all need to meet before trax so we can all drive in and que together, the m6 lot need to meet the m1 lot then meet the rest

[WhelanUK]

[MENTION=2]tucpal[/MENTION] if you are going M6 onto M1 you will pass Coventry (M6 J2) you could meet me and [MENTION=117]SI SRI[/MENTION]

[Cameron UK]

[MENTION=2]tucpal[/MENTION] if you are going M6 onto M1 you will pass Coventry (M6 J2) you could meet me and [MENTION=117]SI SRI[/MENTION]

Then u 3 can meet me and Tottybye

[SI SRI]

Sounds good to me guys.

[tucpal]

that sounds like a plan as soon as we agree a time for us we will agree a time for you
camaron i have your number so we can keep in touch when we are both there

i am aiming to be there at 6,30 am so we are there nice and early
also rusty pm me your mobile
also john can you send me your mobile also
i have dickos already thank,s.

how does 4.30am sound at knutsford services
and we will use the toll road at birmingham if that is ok with everyone

[Rusty2009]

Would it not be best for us to meet at trax would give us a chance to start setting up ready for the north coming in, rather than us going past silver stone just to come back.

Chaps don't forget we have the Zello app for keeping in touch along the way it does work all the way from Yorkshire to Bournemouth.

Info can be found here http://zello.com/app

Also the thread that was started here http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-VXOC...KIE-TALKIE

Would be good for all those that have a smart phone etc to use it while in convoy in-case of any problems.

We all need to meet before we go in I think, maybe the 'northerners' meet the 'southerners' right next to trax? The ZELLO app is good

[WhelanUK]

I agree. I think we all need to meet prior to going in. Will look good plus a few people like myself haven't got a clue what they are doing. It's just a case of finding points along the way to meet then north & south meeting near Silverstone.

[cornishtaz]

Can we put a list of times and meeting points along with who's going to be at each location.

Arrival time at Silverstone will be 6:30am

[Rusty2009]

Baz what time do you want to meet at the services?

[cornishtaz]

Arival time at Silverstone to be 6:30am traffic dependant


This is a meeting point I was thinking of

https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?m...UlvFOj37jQ

If everyone is happy with this we can meet here between 6:15 and 6:25

Southern Convoy

Greenbridge, Swindon 4:45am

Baz
Lewis

Cherwell Servives A43/M40 5:45am and leave by 6am

Baz
Lewis
Rusty


Northern Convoy

[Rusty2009]

Just a thought then as to where south and north could meet.

https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?m...rEefBdJb68

Just up the road and no-one has to drive past silver stone as long as we have the Zello app on the north lads cam say we are 5 mins from the exit etc and we can rally up and slid in in front of the north leader (Tucpal?)

That location will awkward due to al the queues around Silverstone. I'm currently looking for a good location that wont inconvenience us too much

[Rusty2009]

what about just up the road coming from the south?

[tucpal]

Cool can you copy paste the updated list from post 37 thanks

[tucpal]

will do

[cornishtaz]

Seeing as we're going to all meet up before entering Silverstone do members still want there tickets posted or would you prefer to collect them at the meeting point and the postage charge donated to the running costs of the club
