Hi All.
The directions file is about 500k, which may not be large for some, but my ye olde 56k modem struggles.
So, Below are the directions for all to see If you have any problems on the day give me a call on my mobile – 07734 236640. See you on Sunday.
Start Point – The Euston Way pub & hotel, Telford.
The Euston Way pub is opposite Telford train station, and has a huge car park. In the center of the pub building there is a split between the pub and the hotel, this is under cover and I suggest we park our cars and meet under there if the weather is bad.
To get to the pub, leave the M54 at Junction 5. No matter which direction you leave the M54 from you will come to a roundabout. If your travelling from Birmingham way, i.e. East then you need to take the second exit at this roundabout (the fist takes you back onto the M54). If you’re travelling west, from Shrewsbury direction then you need the first exit at this roundabout. This road is Rampart Way.
Follow the road past Blockbuster and Staples to another large roundabout (Hollinswood Interchange). Here you need to take the second exit, which will be sign posted train station. You will probably be able to see the Euston Way from the roundabout. Follow the narrow road round to the left and turn right into the car park. The Map below should help
The meet up time is 11, for an 11:30 departure. I will be waiting from 11 in a MY99 RB5 – a greyish blue colour.
NOTE – If you need petrol then the best bet is the new Shell station just off Junction 4 of the M54, signposted Telford Services. Optimax can be had here.
End Point – Ironbridge & the Malthouse
Details of the route and a map will be provided on the day. Some peeps wanting to skip the drive can meet us at the finish point detailed below
There are a number of ways into Ironbridge depending on where you’re coming from. However for these directions it is assumed your heading into Ironbridge from the right, as this is the way we will be arriving after the drive from Telford. (Via the scenic route J)
Turn towards Ironbridge off the A4169 (Leads up hill to/from Telford to Much Wenlock) onto Buldwas Road (coming form Telford this is left then left again). This winding road leads into Ironbridge past the power station on your right. You will come to a mini roundabout where you should go straight on. Watch out for speed bumps. We will be parking on the Right in the Museum car park, I’ll try and get us all together on the far side by the river. Unfortunately this is Pay & Display, but its secure and should be big enough for us. I don’t think it is too expensive for a couple of hours parking.
The Malthouse is just a bit further up the road (called the Wafrage). It is on the left and has a small car park that is usually full.
We should be in the car park by 12:30, depending on traffic on the route from Telford.
