Billing 2012 Scottish Convoy #2

[Melv]

Convoy number one will be for the hardcore lot that are going down during the week. This thread is for those that are just going for the weekend.

Plan

Depart God's country on the Friday.

Meeting point:
Southwaite services, Englandshire (M6 southbound) postcode: CA4 0NT (10.00am, leaving 10.30)

General route:
M6 through Englandshire
M6 Toll road (costs a few quid, so have change ready, well worth it for congestion free roads)
Final piss / Fuel stop @ Corley services (only 45miles to Billing)
M1
Leave the M1 at junction 15ish
Arrive at NN3 9DA, Little Billing

Pitch tent, open beer, look at Vauxhalls, get sunburnt.
