North West Convoy and Route

Postby Drift on Thu Feb 16, 2012 8:37 pm

Okay guys keep this thread on topic :thumbup:

I have to work the Friday morning but I can leave as early as 12.30 straight from work in St Helens.

So the route will be the same as last year I take it, M6 then the Toll road as it worked fine last time.

Rather than all the convoys meeting at the site, we could all meet up at a friendly service station just down the road and then all arrive in one hit. Could make for a stressy receptionist :lol:
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

ill be bringing a trailor if it makes any difference and ill be on 33s so my 2.2 wont be too chuffed with pace

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Tolver+St,+St+Helens,+Merseyside+WA10,+UK&daddr=Sibbertoft+LE16+9UJ&hl=en&sll=53.455518,-2.735322&sspn=0.001955,0.003449&geocode=FWOpLwMdSUbW_ykPZClIeBt7SDEhWHomtAsmfw%3BFc0YIAMdRpvw_ykLoWRC3G13SDGCa0VPQjzBOg&oq=LE16+9UJ&t=h&mra=ls&z=8

looks like last yrs route but i think the 2:21 time is a bit optomistic
