I'm going but staying at the travelodge Friday night 3 miles away from the circuit.
After last years #### up ! Although with out Badminton this year Maybe meet at Morrisons.

I might be up for a convoy... although I refuse to go near Chippenham this year. If you're going to jn18 and loop back to the North approach to the circuit then I'm in

[Gaz!]

If you guys are m4 ing it, fancy meeting at chievley for a pre meet. I can meet you there.

I will head across country to Didcot and then down to chievley if that's a meeting place

^^This^^

With a briefing at 09.30 there is no way I'm risking playing Tiddlywink this year...

As our stand entry passes are for Gate A, it makes no sense to go anywhere near Morrisons and the inevitable A350/A420 traffic jam. However coming from the east there is no need to do a shed load of unnecessary extra miles to J18 of the M4.

Use this route - https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Stan ... 5&t=m&z=13
It joins the B4039 by The Salutation Inn in The Gibb only 2 miles from the circuit entrance.

@ Jay, do we know where our plot is yet? Last time we used Gate A (Tower entrance) we were banished to the nether regions beyond Bobbies. As far as it is possible to be from Quarry where most of the fun happens. The only good thing about it was it close to a standpipe and the toilet block!

Works for me

If you guys are m4 ing it, fancy meeting at chievley for a pre meet. I can meet you there.

We spent over an hour there last year! I don't mind picking people up for a convoy (*ahem* Tony! *ahem*) but I ain't hanging around there. Some of us have cars to get on track

[dawesy]

I'm traveling down on fri night and stopping at Swindon North premier inn. I need tobe at the 08:30 briefing so need a early start. Happy to convoy with anyone else that's about.

what time at Chieveley?

[MR2Jay]

I'll meet you guys at Chieveley again this year, it's a pretty easy run down for me to their....

No idea on the plot just yet.... I'll see what I can dig up

[SonicSW20]

Chieveley makes sense, we'll be going round the M25 and along the M4.

So, if we pick up the Essex lot at Brentwood services, and any of the Hertfordshire / North London / surrounding areas and anyone coming through that way at South Mimms services? Then onto Chieveley to pick up the main group, and onto the venue.

[simon1]

il be at chievely services for a bit but deffo wont be hanging around for people to convoy as want to get in to the show before any action starts,

[Bezly]

I can meet you at Brentwood services!! What time are you thinking??

That will depend on the timings from Jay. It will be an early start though as it's a ~2hr15min drive from Brentwood to Castle Combe with no stops, assuming traffic conditions are decent!
