FCS Convoy from South (Friday - final edit) - ginge191 - 10-05-2012
convoy starts here... tesco north harbour: mainly to get some snacks, fuel, and general chit-chat
Address: SOUTHAMPTON RD, SOLENT, PORTSMOUTH PO6 4SR
then moving on up to "wisley northbound filling station" / little chef
GU23 6PT
then carry on up the A3 onto the M25 and Up the M1
stopping off along the way if members want to join the convoy (or we can call ahead as were coming up to locations so they can meet us along the way of this general route)
Finally, a N.London stop off @ the usual toddington services LU5 6HR
As for timing:
My ferry is booked for 12pm (this is what the times are based around, apologies.
Arrive at tescos PO6 4SR between 1:15-1:30 Depart tescos @ 1:45pm
About an hour to the First stop @ GU23 6PT - so arrive at 2:45, depart at 3pm
Second Stop @ Toddington services, LU5 6HR, Arrive 4pm, depart 4:10pm
And finally up to the campsite, should be about another 1hour 30 minutes. so ARRIVAL ESTIMATE @ 6pm
This should give us a good couple of daylight hours to get a tent up, just spoke to the park and 6pm is a fine time to arrive.
I would recommend everyone to arrive at their departing location 10-15minutes early
Overall this should cut some time, also, please remember or check who is departing with you at your location to save time scrambling to see if we have everyone.
If anyone is unsure if we have left/arrived, PLEASE text me. PM me if you do not have my number
our end location will be the camp site:
Beechwood Park
Main Road
Elvaston
Thulston
Derby
DE72 3EQ
Ok, this should be all the information you need! Any issues please let me know!

Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - Dan! - 11-05-2012

M1. M11 will add about 20-30 miles to the journey....something I could do without! Haha

Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - ginge191 - 11-05-2012
As for route, i'm following my sat nav and postcodes
so if anyone has anywhere they want to join on, chuck the postcode on and we'll see what we can do.
As for jake, if you REALLY want to convoy up with us, just cut across and meet us? OR meet us further up?
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - Niall - 11-05-2012
If your going a3/m25, I can meet you at the BP on the a3 just before the m25

Ditto.

This might make sense, seeing as there are a fair few londoners that may want to join en-route and to be fair, i don't mind going this way
So yes, as phil said, A3 - M25 - M1
And niall, im assuming the BP garage at Eashing, GU7 2QG.
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - Niall - 11-05-2012
Nope no where near. It's the one in send about a mile before the a3/m25 junction
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - ginge191 - 11-05-2012
Niall Wrote:Nope no where near. It's the one in send about a mile before the a3/m25 junction
Thats the only BP garage on the A3 - near the M25 mate...? just before guildford.
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - Niall - 11-05-2012
There's 2 opposite each other in north of Guildford and about a mile south of the m25
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - ginge191 - 11-05-2012

Another garage just up from guildford - GU1 2RB?

GU23 6PU

Edit: 6PT is northbound. 6PU is southbound.
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - Niall - 11-05-2012
Found it. Gu236pt
Toby that's the south bound one. We want northbound
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - ginge191 - 11-05-2012
literally 2 minutes from the other garage
but thats fine, i'll amend 1st post
Re: FCS Convoy from South - blad - Niall - 11-05-2012
Yeah but that ones easiest for all the Londoners as we have to go past the m25 junction in order to get to it. It's also got a nice big car park so we won't all be getting in people's way!
