Sounds good to me mate. I can't recall is there's services at 19, will have to double check, but failing that there's always Watford Gap with isn't too much further down.

Yeah that's cool. I'll drop you a message nearer the time to confirm.

I'm game for a convoy down this year, last year it was just me and Justin.

Watford Gap is a good call as the next one I believe is Northampton Services which is the junction we'll be coming off anyway

There's gonna be a much more substantial convoy than just you 2 🤣. Excluding ITRDC5. I think about 10-15 I know from Sheffield and surrounding local areas alone have mentioned a convoy.

Is there going to be a meeting point before we enter somewhere close to the event? Would be good to go in as a group if possible?

I suggested this to a few of my pals. But we've tried this a few times before with varying success. If people are up for it, no reason we couldn't. The place locally (ish) to Silverstone would possibly be the big Tesco at Towcester. It know this doesn't sound as good as a service station but which ever way we look at it, unless we meet at a similar place to where I mentioned (Tesco) people are going to be travelling past Silverstone to meet beforehand. Your thoughts would be welcome?

 

[DC5Noob]

Sounds perfect to me mate! Would just be nice to crew up there and head on in, would definitely prefer that!

Would others be up for that?

Also anyone coming from south (Bournemouth way ish)

I'd be up for joining the convoy (time dependent)

 

[ChanHongHong88]

I will be coming from Birmingham way so I will come via M40, happy to meet near Silverstone and then go in together!

 

[Kev.W]

I'm happy to meet up with everyone as long as it doesn't involve going past Silverstone

 

[Chrismartin]

Thanks all for your recent input. One of the better larger places I can think of is here. Please discuss your though?

This seems a reasonable location to me, not too far out from Silverstone

 

[Richie200]

Do we have a rough meeting time in mind yet?

 

[Kev.W]

I would say the earlier the better to beat the traffic

I'm guessing about 7.30?

7:30am is cool with me but if people want it later I also have no issue.
