Thumbs up Convoy to The MENCAP CLASSIC RALLY May 28th - 29th ...

Ok then this has been discussed enough on the Main thread

Really feel that with all the Bank Holiday traffic , Heading away for the Long weekend we need to start heading down to Devon in good time

So let's meet @ Thurrock Services @ 11-45am & Leave @ NOON

1. Tiny



This should get us down there Late Afternoon , Get checked in The Sparkford inn , Book a meal for the Evening , Shoot Out & Check the Start of the Rally , & Most importantly to Re fuel

Looking forward to this weekend

Anyone know of any Optimax stops along the rally route? (150miles isn't it? ) or is the rally route a secret until they issue it on the day?

Starting from the Haynes Motor Museum just off the A303 at Sparkford the two routes will criss/cross and all the crews should end up at the designated lunch halt and then all finish at Lufton Manor, Yeovil.The "Classic Route" is approximately 110 miles and the "Touring Route" is approximately 135 miles.

So we should be able to do it on a full tank.I will try & find out where the lunch stop is and then I can sniff out a nearby Shell garage in case anyone is getting low.

This was the wee stop on the way back from Longleat if it's any good.Big Shell on the A303 roundabout just near Stonehenge.About 115 miles into the journey from Thurrock & with about another 40 miles or so to Sparkford.

Ok then best we get this route finalised for the trip down to Sparkford ..

1 . Leaving Thurrock services @ Midday

2. Taking the M25 (Clockwise) Round to Junction 12 M3

3. Following the M3 Down to Juction 8 A303

4. Remaining on the A303 Stopping @ Bulford/ Amesbury Services ( Optimax ) For a fresh cuppa & a wee ( Flat Eric , This also gives KevD & Simon 57 a chance to catch up with us ( This stop is 115 miles away from Thurrock )

5. Heading back out onto the A303 Still And following to we reach our destination @ SPARKFORD This is 155 miles from Thurrock

Please all try & Have 2 way radios with you , Just makes life just a little easier & Also is a giggle on the way down as well
