Not a bad thought david, would take a bit of planning with start times. Personally not setting off till rush hr is over

I agree Dan. Lie in, breakfast and then hit the road around 9.30 to 10 am to miss all the rush hour. I reckon we could aim to be there around 12:30 ish.

So the plan is --- start off from Stafford around 09.30/10.00 on Friday 15th for the trek north -- via the M6 ??

 

Then Penrith for lunch & meet up with Dan & Phil ?

sounds about right will depend on how much traffic we hit. I have a hours drive to meet up with Dan and that could be longer with rush hour traffic. It can take 40 mins to get to the other side of Leicester

And Ozz.

Should take us approx 3 hrs depending on traffic fuel stops and problems that require 11mm spanners.

Sorry Ozz, took it as read that you'll be there, fresh as a daisy from your short trip; & with tea/coffee to hand --- one sugar in mine & Mo's is black.

Guys, is there still space?

 

If so I'd like to add my name to the list as tentative.

 

Been busy jet setting backwards and forwards to Arizona since the trip last year and only just caught up with stuff on the forum.

 

Hope everyone is well and hopefully see you all in April

Anyone stopping off on the way back? Long drive back from Fort William?

Great stuff Terry and don't worry I'll have an MX5 engine and some spanners with me (so I'll just nick the supercharger)
