Who is still up for a convoy from Bristol to the mega meet? Tabs has just posted the info on the forum, so seems like a good time to find out what is happening.

Mike started this thread ages ago: http://www.uk-mkivs.net/forums/96870/ShowPost.aspx and it would be good if we could get some interest going again and everyone could drive down together.

What are everyones plans? I was thinking of going down Friday evening. Are people intending on camping?

Im still up for this Andrew, I would like to camp! I dont have a tent though! Anyone got room for a lodger? []

 

[Blue V5]

Yep this is a good idea. I have to procure myself a tent though... []
If i can get the one i'm thinking of then there should be plenty of
room.

 

[EstorilBlue]

Neat...good ol' Rich! [] You have a PM buddy!

Whats the score with toilets and places to wash up there?

 

[Tabs]

We're starting things off on Saturday about 2pm guys and gals, so don't worry about getting an early start []

If you check the map I've posted of our area at Billing you can see there are toilets and showers to the right of the camping area.

There are toilets just behind the uk-mkivs HQ also.

Plenty of facilities at Billing [Y]

Thanks for the information Tabs, there are so many threads on this now... I dont know where to look! []

 

[Tabs]

I'll try and get all info condensed into one post [Y]

 

[Andrew]

So are we best off travelling to Billing Friday night or Saturday morning? 

 

[Tabs]

It's up to you? Saturday morning would be best I guess, as traffic won't be as heavy.

 

[Blue V5]

Tabs, you have PM by the way - although if you are bringing any to Billing i'll give you the fiver then []

 

[EstorilBlue]

I say Saturday morning, that way we are not roughing it for too long!

 

[Andrew]

Saturday morning sounds good to me

 

[EstorilBlue]

So is there only 3 of us? []

 

[Andrew]

Anyone else up for this, should be a good laugh.

Still loads on this thread: http://www.uk-mkivs.net/forums/281327/ShowPost.aspx who had there names down.

 

[Blue V5]

Just bought a lovely spangly 3 man tent so if anyone needs a dry place to kip!

 

[Andrew]

That reminds me, I need to air my tent out. I haven't used it since Reading Festival last year.

 

[Andrew]

Looks like the meet is kicking off at 12pm on Saturday. What time you fancy leaving on Saturday morning? It should take between 2 and a half to 3 hours I reckon. Shall we meet at the usual place at cribbs or is there a better place to meet for getting on the M4?

 

[Blue V5]

Which way were we heading? My route planner says M4 down to Oxford then up the A-roads.

I'll be up for meeting at Cribs as its closer for both of you i think.
For me it would be easier to meet at the Tormarton interchange as its
about 10mins from my house but i'm easy []

 

[Andrew]

I don't mind where I meet really. Cribbs is easy though I guess because I got to get to Bristol first anyway. I don't mind an early start, so whatever time you lads want to start off. Yeah along M4 to Junction 15 then A roads was the way I went to the pod the other week, it was easy enough. Follow Mike anyway, he's got the sat nav []

Anyone else from the Bristol area want to join in?

 

[Blue V5]

If its kicking off about 12 then how about meeting up at 9-9:30 at Cribs?
