The plan is to meet at Lakeside services at 12-45 and leave at 1pm sharp. You will then take the north route of the M25 and then turn off to the M40.

You will no doubt get caught in some traffic along the way but at that time it shouldn't be so bad. On Prodrive 1 we drove along at 55-60mph the whole way and still arrived an hour early. This left us plenty of time to stop and grab a burger at the services before the Prodrive junction..... it also gave Adidas time to clean the ketchup off his shirt

On the return journey you head South on the M25 and take in the dartford tunnel. Stop at lakeside for a wee break and then head home.

Can you all confirm that this is ok. MOST IMPORTANTLY subscribe to this thread so that you are aware of any change in timings....
See ya there tomorrow

Frayz sounded like he had a great time, 3 hour tour is not bad for £20-00
