East Anglia Convoy

[BadBoy]

Is anyone interested in a convoy from East Anglia to the annual on the Friday?
Last year I joined the SE convoy, but I have to stop in Kettering on the way there, so I have to go via M11 & A14.
I was thinking of meeting at the Cambridge Services A14 J28 to depart 1 hour before we are allowed on site with prior meets arranged and times to coincide with this.

CB radios will be on channel 8

[RatCav]

Depending on the time I am up for that. That is if your prepared to convoy with a road snail (Ratvan II ... caravan)

[andytats]

I'm up for it aswell. Just have to work out a time

I had a van last year so no problems

Will post times once I find out when we are allowed on site

[bobbinsjob]

Count us in

[BadBoy]

Ok. This assumes that we will be allowed onto site @ 1pm on Friday (same as last year) and to pick the better pitches .

As I see it there will be 2 routes merge into 1 on the A14.
One coming up the M11, and the other from Norfolk/Suffolk along the A14
I would suggest that the services @ J28 would be a good meeting point at 11.45am

That will allow time for anyone who needs a break to take one. Hellos to be made, and time to depart @ 12.00

The M11 convoy I suggest a meet at J8 Services at 11am to leave by 11.10am. This will enable anyone coming from Essex to meet in one place. Also should any convoy from the SE region be using the M11 & A14 as opposed to M1 they can meet us there too .

I need someone from Suffolk/Norwich area to work out suitable meeting points prior to Cambridge for people coming from that area (any volunteers please )

Your ideas/comments please

[andytats]

[Drift]

fooking gobbldy gook to me

[bobbinsjob]

[RatCav]

Norwich/Lowestoft brigade can meet on the A47/A11 junction at the Little Thief, then head down the A11 towards the others. That will allow our resident FOG Hobbit Fogman to have some more food as well

[beagleboy]

We are in Dover at 11:15.
It's to late for the EastAngliaConvoy. We'll meet you at Avalanche.

[bobbinsjob]

[RatCav]

[stretch]

I'll tag along at J28 of the A14 @ 1145 if that's ok chaps
