Convoy from the South - RS 4 Gathering

Post by HYFR » Fri Jun 17, 2011 8:47 pm

We will meet at

South Mimms Services Junction 23 M25. This is the junction for the A1(M)

(South Mimms, SOUTH MIMMS, Hertfordshire GN6 3QQ)

The reason for meeting here, is so we can have a number of V8's rumble through the newly refurbished Hatfield Tunnel (0.75 miles)

How about we meet the Midland lot on the A1 at Grantham ?

Anyhow, put your name down

Exact timings TBC

I'll probably meet you @ junc 21 (A1) - unless you can persuade OuTTlaw to join the party, then I'll meet you @ S. Mimms

Grantham is about 2 hrs from York so guess you Southerners will be at Grantham about 9.30 - 10am?

No way will it take you that long to get there. I can get from Pilgrim Street in central London to home in Tynemouth in 4.5 hours in a Seat Ibiza 1.4 TDi. I would guestimate 4.5 hours to Malton max from South Mimms, more likely 3.5 as it normally takes me an hour to get out of central London to South Mimms

That was taken from "south of the River" to York town on AA route planner, hopefully the M25 will be clear this time round.
