Hey mate , if your planning to go A406 then it's all good

Just wanted to know if i'd get time for a p!ss , as i thought M25 would be a longer drive , and no time for p!ss / Stretch of the legs

It's your call mate

Is the A406 a better route than the M25?

M25 seems a bit more straightforward to me and the route we've always taken going to Banbury. Much less speed cameras too!

Happy to go with the majority though.

M25 is the far better option, convoy can stay together, no traffic lights to break up the party and seriously , takes an hour !! Not on a Sunday morning with nice clear roads saying that I'll go with the majority , just looking forward to the day in general.

If your meeting earlier please let us know sooner rather than later as I've got a couple of people travelling a fair way to meet me before we get to Brentwood. Cheers

8.30am is fine - if everyone arrives promptly we can exit quicker - and I doubt it will take an hour to get there on a sunday morning.

We don't need to drive mad but we wont be poodling at 50mph all the way!

ROUTE = M25

LEAVE BRENTWOOD SERVICES 8.45am

SORTED !

I'll have to agree with sir fozz , A406 is just a speed camera nightmare !

M25 is the simpler , direct , non speed camera route

Thanks for your your support with my bladder issues BITCHES

Bad news.

Have you let the organisers know on the main thread? There is still quite a few on the reserve list that would love to be able to fill the space.
