M1 north -> Silverstone

[andyj]

Anyone heading down the M1 to Silverstone on Sunday morning ?!?

I'll be getting on at J25 @ about 7am I reckon..... with the aim to be at Silverstone about 8.15am......

 

[spyke85]

The Sheffield lot will be doing!

 

[andyj]

no-one ?!? or do I just smell ?!?

 

[jenk]

Too early for me

Too early for me

You will enjoy sitting in the traffic on the A43 if it's as busy as suggested then.

 

[T. Spark]

I will join you in this venture!

Not sure if anyone else will be from sheffield, as they are going down to the pod saturday night and might be stopping over.

Where would be best to meet? And what time? Andy you going to convoy?

 

[spyke85]

I'm already in a convoy from Manchester and won't be going near the M1

 

[andyj]

how about Donnington Park services @ J24 at 7am ?!?

anyone else going to join us ?!?

 

[Empi5]

We are staying at the Hilton in Northampton, so give us a beep on your way past and we can join you.

 

[m0rk]

Hope he won't go that far - he'll be coming off at J15a, and you're 3 miles south

 

[Empi5]

Just testing

6am start then from J1 M18 should allow time

Sounds like a plan, do you know where you are going?!

Really not that hard

M1 J15a, take a right onto A43 - minding the speed camera & bridges (do the speed limit as there may still be a temp 40mph) cross 2 roundabouts & then you're about 3 miles away from silverstone which has it's own sliproad from the dual carriageway

 

[andyj]

piece of poop to get to Silverstone done it several times going to Trax.....

temp 40 was in place last weekend when I went via the A43 to get to the M40 and then down to Heathrow (avoiding the M25!)

as for calling by the Hilton in Northants.... sod off !!

 

[m0rk]

temp 40 was in place last weekend when I went via the A43 to get to the M40

I know I drive thru it daily

It might be completed by the weekend if they're on target - so it might be clear by then

 

[andyj]

ah gotcha

no-one else heading down the M1 on Sunday morning then ?!?

 

[EdButler]

Me and JBS_Mike_OBD/Mr. X will be there in our cars from Sheffield woo!
