Are you going via Kingston?

I'm happy to join a convey on the Friday as I'll be travelling on my own. Leaving from east London.

Aupickup - if you've got a route planned I might be able to meet you en route (DP is near me as well)

hello all
this is the route we will be taking

Through Dartford tunnel (M25) exit jcn25 (A10 north) onward to Royston. Join A1198, onward to A14 (Huntingdon), follow on to Kettering and from there to KELMARSH.

we will be leaving early fri morning as we like to take it nice and leisurely with tea stops

How early is early? M25 between Dartford and A10 can be a nightmare clockwise at rushhour. Don't know about anti-clockwise.

Louise, in the past I've met up with website rallyiers who were going round the M25 here:

As it's an easy off and on when going anti-clockwise. Could wait for example in the Volunteer car park or the Honey Lane car park? We could pre-meet in Wanstead, Woodford or Chingford or just before the M25

DP,

I know the volunteer pub. Sounds like a plan, although I'm not planning on leaving too early on the Friday.

Aupickup - what sort of time do you think you'll reach the A10 / M25 junction?

Louise
