hmm, 11 at Telford is early! I've got a wrap party tomorrow night, so I'm going to be VERY tired!

Still, if anybody's coming from the north west (shimon, ricatron, anyone else) we could meet up on the M6 and convoy down to telford too, PM me if you want a number, but I'll probably be leaving at 8:30ish and grannying it down, so we could say meet at 9 at Knutsford services.

I'll PM my numbers over

I'm down for this. Fingers crossed £35 of fuel will be enough...

An idea...how do people feel about carrying on past Llanberis to Caernarfon and checking out the Welsh Highland Railway? It's not free, like, but it is a pretty impressive undertaking, if you read the story...

cheers

Damn damn damn, I need to do a railway trip sometime... really can't make tomorrow though

Maybe we could do that as another meet?

G'wan Steve. Isn't it time you updated your sig anyway?

cheers

James

Good point

Although the new car in my sig is the very reason why I can't make it tomorrow

How about...if...you come to the meet, then I come give you a hand with the yellow on the way back? You can make the tea or something

cheers

James

G'WAN!!!!

If anybody wants my number to meet up, pm Dai (if that's ok, I've sent it to you) because I'm on my way out now, so wont be able to reply! send me a message if you want to convoy down!

I'm up for Caernarfon, because I'm planning to go back via the coastal route!

Just a minor point for those using the A55 coastal route to return....

Don't forget you will be in the fascist pig Brunstrom's county - persons found speeding get shot, hung, drawn, quatered, boiled in oil, hacked into small pieces, jumped on and then shown pics of Redline in the nude.

The N Wales Constabulary have a very visible prescence on the A55 - speed at your own discretion.

I might take the A55 back as well.

I'm not sure about the WHR...it was just an idea. To be fair, I'm not that keen to spend more money at the moment, but it seems rude not to, since we're in the area. Having said that, I don't want to go wandering off from the crowd and appear antisocial...

cheers

Really? There are very few cameras and I've not seen many patrol cars on there the times I've been on it...

hi guys

unfortunately my wife's grandfather has been taken ill so we're off to Epsom tomorrow to see him in hospital

another meet on the A55 with a railway visit too sounds like a great another for another meet though

Steve, is the the yellow one from the VOC?

hope you all have a fab time!

shimon

I agree... definitely a good place for a meet... nah it's another one

I'll make some notes on how to find the WHR, and see how everyone's doing for time, daylight, etc.

cheers
