Frank, my plans to take my SWB from Maidstone have probably been shelved now, as I've been invoted to a wedding and a birthday party on the continent over the summer so will be looking to save a few pennies.
I'll be running up the A34 from Southampton so might try and link up around Cherwell Valley services area, as I'm sure I'll be wanting a coffee by then and the dog will want a wee. Probably about 11-1130. What do you reckon?

Aye, that was my reckoning too.. Get there for 1100 or so, stretch legs, buy coffee, depart about half past.
I don't do quick anytime these days, tend to slipstream a handy truck out of habit
CB will also be on Ch. 8
I'll bring the portable again too, if I can locate its battery pack.

Jim/Frank, it's a shame you'll be passing mine so early as we would of tagged along, if you leave Cherwell at 11.00 you'll be passing my door about 11.30. Shame as I'll still be at work until 5.00pm.
