Stage Participants
Many thanks for your involvement.
I think hantsdave is coordinator for this stage. Hopefully he will pick up on this and start to progress this WRT section length, handover points, contact details etc. Thanks again Andrew

I am based in Gravesend -about 8 miles from Dartford Crossing.
Although I have not put my name down for a leg of the route would be more than happy to act as backup on most of legs 10 and 11. ie from Dartford round to Northern M25 (Via Hastings, Brighton etc) if required. Would prefer to avoid Dartford Crossing, its a bit of a pig on Sunday Evenings until about 19.00 hrs, if possible. Any crossing there (either way) before 19.00 Sunday could cost another 30 minutes or so on usual driving time as per Google. Have TWO R75's available. Also two drivers. Me as a member and Christine (SWMBO) non member. Christine would join quickly if necessary !!! Hope this is of some help |
