I think it's too early to be planning exact times, nearly 4 months to go. But looking at the journey times on Google maps we would probably need to be leaving Woodall by 6, maybe sooner.

Yeah I agree, just want to get an approximate time! :-)

I will join up with you guys I am just south of Manchester - I will be in my Fiesta Titanium X (EcoBoost Mk7.5)

I will most likely stay at my cousins in Sheffield the night before to ensure I am at the services to meet all of you guys.

Great, I'll add you to the list :)

Thanks Phil :) - I will be buying tickets this Friday, I should have modified my car fully by the time the convoy comes along.

  • 1 month later...

Well it's getting ever closer I'll have a look at Phil 87 's map route so I can find a way to join the convoy as hotelling it with my wife can't wait

Have we decided on any times yet? We're setting off from YO15 3DJ at 4am and hoping to join you all at Woodall services. Once we know a time I'll make sure we're there on time ;)

Just read back and you want to be leaving woodhall by 6 at the latest.. I'm just getting abit giddy! Feel like a little kid again looking forward to Christmas

I should be there by 5:30

  • Author

I've had another look on Google maps and it looks like 5:30 is a good time to try and leave Woodhall.

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Woodall+MWSA+Southbound/Silverstone+Circuit,+Towcester/@53.0890842,-0.9234961,10z/data=!4m18!4m17!1m5!1m1!1s0x48799ec3226bd31d:0x4c9cf0d86e172147!2m2!1d-1.280881!2d53.31423!1m5!1m1!1s0x48771c5823926c25:0x1142afb591c324a6!2m2!1d-1.014663!2d52.073301!2m3!6e1!7e2!8j1438500600!3e0

I assume Google knows about the roadworks but if not we'll have to figure out if that route time is realistic. I wouldn't mind trying to leave even earlier but that depends on other people, and I know some of you might have to get up earlier than I do so it's whatever works best for everyone really.

I may be able to push it to set off at 3:45 set off as its not just myself coming.. Google's saying 1.45 hours to get to Woodall but I reckon I could squeeze it down to less with it being early hours

Are we running a leave the man behind job if they're not there on time? :(

I think we should wait for people unless they're going to be really late, but maybe we should just decide on a time to leave each place we stop, then anyone left behind just needs to catch up. It won't be hard to find the convoy on the M1 for anyone trying to catch up :)

Fair enough! I don't mind giving you my number that way if you leave before or I'm going to be late I can let you know?

Wait time of about 18 days once i place the order so bare that in mind

Yeah I was thinking we should all swap numbers before the convoy so we can get in touch if needed.

^ I think there was another thread for people coming from around there, or going along the M40 but I could be wrong.

that's what I think me and my wife are going to do as then straight in the convoy in the morning then

Yer we are going to York the day before cause I have a driving experience booked that I got for my birthday so I said after that we will set off to woodhall and stay the night there so we can jump on the convoy 1st thing. We thought about going to Silverstone night before but last year the best part was the drive down :)

That will make it easy for me to find both of you parked at the hotel then :)

I will meet up with you guys I'm off junction 28 so could meet at tibshelf or trowel services :)

^ Added you to the list :)

Just to confirm we are going on the Sunday?

  • Author

^ Yes, early on the Sunday morning. But if you're coming from Cheshire I'm guessing you'll be taking a different route.
