I was hoping to get the Friday off and get there just after lunch but now things may have changed, will know more tomorrow

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?

Yep, looks pretty good. I'll aim to get there around the 11:00 mark, so long as were moving for 11:30 should make the site or 13:00. I'll be dragging the caravan so I'll not be throwing the truck down the road in the normal manner lol.

I'll pm the mobile number. Oh and ch 8 will be on.

[Wilberforce]

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.

[Fatbaz]

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.

[Loneranger]

Maybe we could have our own little convoy Stu ??

[Fatbaz]

That we will Pete, just the three of us. We sort the details closer the time.

[jellybaby]

[Drift]

Not me

Its looking like the course will be a bit wetter and muddier than last year
It was like concrete last year

[jellybaby]

i'll borrow your tyres ste

[Drift]

Dave you just reminded me, must change them over, I really did forget as Ive not been using the car

[kees]

I've got a 2inch suspension lift(spacer) and part worn tyres so am expecting to get stuck but that is half the fun.

[fudge]

there is a nice set of muds going spare for anyone to borrow in maidstone
nice set of dumper truck tyres.
some one will just have to get them

[Drift]

Was thinking some one local can borrow my everyday AT tyres, thy would need to fit them here though as not humping them down sarf.
