[jaydh]

I would be happy to meet up with people in Thurrock, if there are any and then head down to join the rest...

[K30 RP]

Ill be at Washington roundabout 10am.

k992061 this is the service station at the Horsham turn off of the M23. I did'nt think there was a McDonalds there I thought it was a Little Chef.

However it does have a big car park. I need to check this out and confirm with you.

Any chance of posting this run in the Classic Forum ( I would but not sure how to do it!), that way there could be a nice mix of old and new spiders?

True but think of all the fun you'll have!

(the Gtv on the Europe Run in October used less fuel than my Spider! And he certainly didn't hold back! )

[Gaz]

Who is leading this? There should be some timings on the stops suggested and to include thurrock so people know what time to get there and who will be at which meeting point.

[baby278278]

If someone can tell me what to add in the RSVP thread then I will - until then there isnt anything more I can do as I only done the thread - I am not a part of this meet

Thanks.

[K30 RP]

We will miss out Haywards Heath meeting point as nobody is coming from that way.

We will still meet at Washington roundabout 10:30am
and then we will go to
to the M23 jnc 10 there is a lay-by about 100yrds of the motorway there at 11:15am - 11:30am

Meeting at the M23 at 10.30 is that ok for those coming from Thurock and M25? If so thats what I would suggest. It's then about an or so to Beachey Head from there.

[jaydh]

Thurrock services to M23 J10 is about 40mins drive

Where is this lay by? which road, I couldnt see it from the google map

Washington Roundabout 10:30am
A264 layby off M23 Jnc 10 Signposted to East Grinstead 11:15 - 11:30am

Those coming from M25 and meeting at Thurock need to sort meeting times out.
Message me for my mob number so any problems you can call me on the day.

By my calculations then Thurrock needs to set off at 10.30 to aim to be at M23 J10 for 11.15. So i suggest meeting at Thurrock services at 10.15 and leaving at 10.30. Would this sound right?

[groovylee]

ha ha! i have just posted something very similar on the other meet thread! great minds think alike! i put meet from 10am with a view to leaving by 10.30 latest, hope that's ok?

[groovylee]

news just in!! according to the weather witches at the BBC, eastbourne is going to be p*** wet through on sunday. bring your wellies!! is anyone else getting excited? or am i just sad?

[jaydh]

I noticed that, if its going to be monsoon rain all day I may not go. Hopefully it wont be too bad cos I too am looking forward to it.

[groovylee]

well, you know how good the BBC are at 'predicting' the weather! (licks finger, sticks into the air and looks thoughtfull whilst looking out of the window!!)

[bingy]

weather will be rain at first clearing up by late morning apparently me and chris durnford meet u lot up at lakeside

[K30 RP]

I just cleaned and polished my car - and sun is on its way I am sure.

So, all spider drivers I think it will be tops down!
