I'll be heading down the M6 > M1 but I need to call in at a place in Towcester on my way to Silverstone, so may have to run a little later depending on opening hours.

Timings from NW haven't been finalised yet Leon, but you're right it will be early - and even earlier for us  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

We intend to pick up some of the Midlands guys at Norton Canes services on the M6 Toll .... but that might be a bit too far west for you?

Post by: Anonymous on November 20, 2006, 16:37

Post by: markiii on November 23, 2006, 17:30
guys, please bear in mind when planning yoru arrivals that just because your not running later in teh day it's not my intention that people just turn up at that time.

Theres a hell of a lot to organise on teh day and while I can appreciate those with serious distances like Wales and Newcastle won't be there form the off, the earlier teh better in general.

Think I'll be A-roading it Leon, specially if the weather's nice.  One advantage of an early start I guess - less traffic   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:D :D s:D
