Hi.

We can use this thread to coordinate a time and meeting point for everybody who's coming from the north...

First you should confirm attendance and post your location.

Maybe the ones from Huddersfield, say, meet at a petrol station near Ainley top and then convoy to the next meeting point where we could meet the ones from manchester and liverpool... and then joing the rest of convoys along the way... I dunno... just an idea..

Post all your suggestions here...

Hi alonso never seen your car around ...

Never seen the car around cause its not our daily-driver (the nitrous oxide system is not completely sorted out yet, and the ohlins suspension just makes the ride to choppy for everyday use, plus my mrs thinks the roll cage makes it too uncomfortable to get in and out.. She's a wuss!) :roll:

so for the FCS ill just take de Exige...

J/K

Yep... That petrol station close to Ainley top sounds good... Do you know anybody else from our area that is going?

Being the foreign one here... I am allowing myself the privilege to be completely lost regarding arrival and travel times... In that respect gentlemen I will grant you the honour of performing all triangulations, extrapolations and permutations and determine the right time to meet the rest of members along the glorious british motorways....

You just tell me when to be where (I presume Ainley top petrol station) and Ill be there...

From Huddersfield Town FC to Wooley edge is 12.7 miles and takes 22 minutes. Hope that helps.

What time do we need to be there?

Philly you could always do the great run across the a57 snake pass and meet us at junction 37M1. Will mean a very early start but the road is mega when quiet, just watch for speed cameras.
