I am from South Wales but I guess no one from there will set off from Nottingham on Sunday as I stay in my friend's on Saturday

Would be nice if I can find someone to go with me
Anyone?

 Members from Northampton will be travelling up the M1 on Sunday morning, passing Trowell Services at c. 9.00 am ish (we leave Northampton at 07.30 hrs).

Would you like us to drive through the Service Area to collect you?

That would be great

I will PM you my phone number and will see you on Sunday

 nice one......... right in the spirit of it all :)

 Peaks and Pennines members are meeting at JCT31 off the M1, 8.30 for 9am depart,

depending how long you stop at trowell services we may have caught you up by then,

will PM my mobile so we can co ordinate on the morning,  if that is acceptable to you and your members ?

as I suggest, talk to Ken (black bess) as he knows more and he can arrange with other Northampton

Hi Pete,

By my reckoning, JCT 31 is 36 miles up from Trowell Service Area, which means that we should be hitting it at c.09.30 hrs.  Are you prepared to hang on for half an hour?

My mobile is 07825 344620

 Hi Ken

I've made a note on the NEM forum about your drive - so there might be a few more to pick up on the way

Just be mindful of the speed restrictions on the M1 widening between J25 and J28 (50mph average speed cameras )

see you when you get there

Quick update on convoy so far,

John is coming up A1 with Northants crowd, meeting at Blyth services around 9-15 / 9-30 am, where we will be meeting up with them,

then on up A1 along M18 to Jct. 5 Doncaster north services, where we will meet up with Ken approx 10-20 am,

we intend to carry on up M18 to M62, exit Howden, where we ( P&P) pick up another member, then take a B road to Elvington.

John is bringing approx 8 cars

Ken approx 12/15

Peaks and Pennines app 6 cars

plus of course any others who would like to tag along, NEM's should be passing our way ?

should be a great sight so many 5's in convoy, just hope the weather stays kind to us

see you all on Sunday rain or shine.

Pete

Hi 

I am heading over from Manchester on the sunday (all being well ) is it alright if i tag along and meet you on the Howden turn of on the M62.

By the looks of thing you should be their about 10.45 approx. 

The more the merrier !

I hope the speed restrictions on the M1 do not delay us too much - please don't leave the rendezvous points without us!

 Minor point of correction - John's group is the Fenland Fives, travelling up the A1.

The Northampton Group is coming up the M1 / M18 and meeting everybody at the Doncaster North Service Area at Junc 5 on the M18.

We hope to get there for 10.20 ish.

NEM's should be passing our way

there might be a few, but most of us are going up on Saturday

Enjoy the convoy

 My apologies John and Ken, i must have got your mobile numbers mixed up this morning when we had discussion, minor point as you say Ken

main thing is we get as many as possible attending Sunday, the bigger the convoy the better

all are welcome to join in, wherever on the route, or catch us up as we pass by.

Pete

Looks like this post is my biggest achievment on this forum so far!
Turning from a 'help the lonely' post to a convoy rally post!

See you at 9 on Sunday Ken, and other 25ish people
