Thanks for the PM Merl.Glad to have you onboard!

Okay, so an update with some early interest, but once again,nothing is set in stone yet

1.James UK will be running from Chester to the M56/M6 J20 interchange. (James may also do from Colwyn to M56/M6 J20 but thats part of JDC stage which needs attention)

2.Merl will take over at this point and carry on to the Charnock Richards services between J27/J28

3.Havn't contacted ace1977Ian tonight as yet but hoping he will step in here and run up to Lancaster.

4.Lancaster is where I will step in - and thats as far as we have at the moment except to say Derek from stage 7 says he will meet up at Abington if necessary. Thats a great offer, but I am hoping that it wont be necessary and that we can cover all aspects of our designated stage to Glasgow. (Derek and Scooterchick have quite a few miles to cover themselves!)

I have noted that some people are willing to travel further but until we have a cleare picturer of the number of volunteers nothing is certain yet.

Many thanks

Ohh not sure if i have missed anything which is possible but a friend of mine was telling me about a OS mapping device thingy that tracks ur route and you can upload the info, not sure if it does real time.... So i can enquiry further about that for something to be used as a batton if interested?

Sounds interesting Martin. A few more details would be great and if its feasible why not - hopefully Andrew can comment on this one - of course it won't be taking "Freds" place!

As Merl lives South of me, maybe he would like to meet me at Jctn 20 services (M56-M6) and continue North a bit?

The logic being Jctn 20 is as far South as stage 6 gets.

I like the idea of being able to track the progress, I think Christopher mentioned something along those lines earlier on in the original thread. I'll have a few words with him soon.

Or -- Merl could do the bit I was going to do = Colwyn (pick up from JDC) to Jctn 20 M6, I could meet him there and go up the M6 to the next exchange point? Lancaster - Kendal area?. Not sure but there must be a service area near there somewhere.. Whatever suits people best.

I could cut a corner off on my return trip home via the M61..

Hi James,
"As per post 11" I have you down as coming in from chester or colwyn bay and meeting up at jctn 20 with Merl. (The Colwyn Bay bit of that journey will have to be okayed with JDC on his stage). Merl will then go forward to Charnock Richards sevrices as things stand at the moment.
Hope this is okay by you.
Cheers

Yep that's fine with me. I estimate covering the 25 miles = Chester to Jctn 20 in 25 mins. As it is all Mway. (M56) This section is shaping up very well.

As you say I now have to sort "stage 5" Colwyn to Chester 35 miles. with John.com.
