Meet at the BP garage on the A45 with a plan to leave there at 08:00, that should get us to the Ponderosa for 10:30ish

I'm planning to go straight to the Ponderosa from home, aiming for 10:30 ................. ish

[LeicJim3a]

I have been looking at routes and my best will be to head down A50 through stock  then towards Nantwich and Wrexham rather than going to Coventry first so i will meet at Pondarosa 10:30am @Foz I think our routes may cross over somewhat let me know if you want to meet up along A50 route ? 

[RedTrev]

At the moment there's Tony, Jez and me meeting at the A45 BP petrol station in Cov. If anyone else plans to meet there let us know before Friday night so we know who to expect and not run off without you

Myself, Jackie, Kerry and Sharon will leave Tamworth around 0830 and head straight up the A5 to Llangollen going on A41 through Whitchurch.

This should get us to the Ponderosa around 1030.

Hi Jim, coming that way you will pass within a mile or so of our house - we are a couple of minutes off the A500 through Stoke.  I'm guessing it will be just over an hour from your house to ours, and then we have about an hour and a half from us to the Ponderosa.  If you fancy meeting at ours you're more than welcome, (and anybody else heading this way), let me know and I can send you the address etc.

[LeicJim3a]

@Foz sounds like a plan I will aim to be at yours 08:45 / 09;00 at the latest send me the address mate 

[Foz]

Hi Jim, I've sent you a message.

[IanS]

I regret to say that I wont make this but hope to see folks at Newark.

[Craig Stirk]

We will come along! Will be at Ponderosa Cafe around half 10 ish

[Jez Morton]

Big thanks to Richy for organising another epic run out to Wales. 520miles later I'm tired but chuffed, everyone made it a fun day to remember.

[Kerry]

Another brilliant day in Wales thanks to Jackie and Richey.

You'll always be taking a chance on the weather in September but we got lucky today. No rain and even a bit of sunshine.

We probably went a bit further than we needed to by going as far as Barmouth but it was worth the effort for the ice creams and two of us getting shat on by seagulls.
