Convoys to Minehead - from Northampton way ;)

[Stu DemonD]

Ok, getting close now, so maybe time to think about convoying down there, and arrangements to meet up beforehand, etc.

I am coming from Northampton, so will probably go A43, M40 one junction, then A34 past Oxford towards Newbury, go west on M4, then hit the M5 towards Bridgwater.

What time also are people intending to arrive - check in per our booking form is 4pm BUT you can get on resort from noon ish, so I may be leaving just after 9am possibly.

Re: Convoys to Minehead

this isn't how you do a convoy thread, read the sticky or all the convoys from diffrent places end up in same thread and people dunno if they coming or going

suggest you all meet at Gordano services J19 M5, then its just under 60 miles from there

that should cover pretty much everyone one coming down as well as across the country, just not people coming up (if any)

I've been told that taking J24 from the M5 and skirt around the south of Bridgwater would be better than taking J23 and driving through the centre of Bridgwater.

get it right Dave

Just to let you know the services Gordano is actually off the roundabout at junc 19 not very well signposted off M5.You will know where it is as between Junc 18 and 19 is a huge bridge over the river Avon.

It is also a very small services that gets very busy especially on Fridays and weekends so make sure you have someones mobile number as it could be difficult to locate each other.

who need my number, i got rid of 07811 , i now got 07948

 

[Stu DemonD]

Gaz, do you still intend to get there for check-in time, or earlier? Be nice to get on site beforehand I reckon, park up car and find somewhere for a drink or two :spin:
