convoy from Exeter to Llandow Friday morning?

Post by Ruffian »

Well I know we're going up on the Friday and gee46 will be also so thinking wheather a convoy up would be a nice idea to try and prevent people getting lost,

As gates open 830
sat nav says 2 1/4 hours there,
Was wondering who else was going up in the morning?

were leaving from Exeter, so could meet people on the way up

I assume you'll be there about 5:30, just incase. I dont remember Llandow ever opening the gates that early.

Getting there sometime just before 9 allows plenty of time to unload/setup before signin. Usually feels like you're waiting around for an age at Llandow due to the late start time.

Take some bolt croppers and the gates can be open whatever time you like ...... (It is South Wales ... :wink: )

So will no doubt be leaving the travel lodge circa 02.00 to ensure he's there on time ...... :shock: :lol:

signing in time is when John calls it.

cafe opens before the circuit does and they open the gates for us.

Severn Bridge Services just before is a good place to meet (I'm heading up the night before, but thought I'd offer that suggestion :)): )

You don't go past Aust any more if you come from the South West and use the SSC ..... Giordano in UK or Mayor in Wales are your options ....
