Growing Convoy for National 2011

Post by **Matt Tomkins** » Mon May 02, 2011 5:42 pm

not sure how feasible it would be, which i why i suggest it early on!
If everyone traveling up on the friday adds an appropriate pick-up point to a google map and reposts, we could have a route (or more likely several merging) which could end up in an ever-growing convoy to the national.
add a destination and re-post

once we know how many + distances etc, we can sort out to coordinate timings - a potentially mammoth task, i know!

is this also assuming everyone is going on the same day, at roughly the same time?

i like throwing spanners in works

Can we have names to go with the letters?

I know I'm D but I have no idea about the others

I'm coming from BN14 0EB, West Sussex

It sounds like a great idea - last time I went to the National I didn't see a single Morris for the entire journey!

As for avoiding motorways - it looks from the map as though there's an expanse of countryside road between St Albans and Knebworth... it would certainly be the scenic route! (Though I will be towing a trailer so would prefer nothing too windy

)

If I'm being too awkward, I don't mind not being in the convoy! Who knows anyway, I may have passed my test by then!

you're not being awkward! - i'll have a look at routes when i get a moment - even if you and coles meet us closer to, having gone separate ways - tbh, i'm pleased not to be doing motorways this end!

good luck passing your test! - you doing it in martha? - you'll need headrests btw

Post by **KatiePotatie** » Tue May 03, 2011 9:59 am

Unfortunately won't be doing the test in Martha as she has no headrests

but then again, it may well be better doing it in a less temperamental car!

Nah, don't think that, it's much more interesting to divert off the main roads anyway

Post by **KatiePotatie** » Tue May 03, 2011 5:46 pm

Oh you certainly get to see more than boring old motorway!

Post by **MColes** » Wed May 04, 2011 2:29 pm

I'd be telling her that if she doesn't want to go in the Minor she doesn't have to... she can stay at home. But I'm just mean like that
