Convoy 5th meet?

Jamie · 7th July 2007, 17:06

The convoy to the 4th meet was a blast...definately the highlight of the day for me & one or two others.....dare I suggest another unnoficial convoy?

It was a superb sight and turned lots of heads, including a somewhat confused 75 driver who dropped into the convoy for a while then took off at warp factor 4.

I'll be on the M6 Northbound for 90 odd miles between J24 and J40

Good news from my perspective K22 passed it's MOT this morning otherwise I would have been coming in the Picasso!

Lets have a few suggestions for somewhere to meet and times?

A Motorway service area M6 Northbound might be the most sensible. how far up the M6 though may depend on where people are joining it

Possibly two points on the M6 above and below Manchester rather than one might be sensible to allow for "comfort" breaks and to capture people coming from varying directions.

I will be joining the M6 from the M56 so a Service area around Preston will probably be a sensible meeting point for the North Manchester one especially if people are coming across from Leeds and using I assume the M61?
