Gents, is this the secret squirrel entrance gate for tomorrow reserved exclusively for us?

Hmm, that looks nothing like the entrance shown on google maps. Oh well, I guess we'll work it out when we get there...
 
Can't believe it after a month of sun that tomorrow seems to be like a wash out !!!

Sunday looking good though.
 
It's more than a little sh1te, that's for sure. Hopefully it won't reach Silverstone till later in the day. And if it does rain then at least every single car will look beautifully beaded :D
 
Car is done, now just need to try and get everything in it. Obviously quick detailer, glass cleaner and m/f cloths get priority 8)
 
Not been keeping up to date with the forum lately due to being bust with work, is there any convoy from the north I can jump in with? Taz?

Yes, I'm setting off from South Manchester at 6am, to meet Taz at 6.15 at knutsford services southbound. You're welcome to join if you can meet up at the same place and time?

In the email I received, it asks we come up from the south using the Dadford Road to avoid most of the congestion - see below

Saturday Entrance

The entrance route we have been asked to adopt is to come up from the South on the Dadford Rd. If the cruise was coming down the main entrance dual carriageway it would cause problems due to a significant number arriving as a block. We have ALL been asked to enter through the BMW CC GB entrance on the Saturday which is the Car park number 40 for those that know. To be clear that is the Cruisers and the non cruisers should both use the dedicated BMW CC GB entrance at Car Park 40 west entrance 13 on the event map


REMEMBER TO FILL OUT YOUR PARADE LAP FORMS TO BE ISSUED YOUR WRISTBANDS, AS THE MAILS I RECEIVED STATE THESE WILL BE ISSUED BY THE STEWARDS ON THE GATE
 
That looks like the right place given it is Gate 13, but tbh by the time we get to that point I'd hope we'd been ticket processed and marshalled already ?
 
Can someone list some essentials (other than tickets!) so I don't forget something? So far... waterless wash (for bugs more than anything), quik detailer, MF cloths, APC, chair, waste bags, food, drink... ???

M56, M6, M1 and on.. hence Knutsford services... We're meeting OG (original guvnor) at Watford Gap services around 8am so you could meet up with us there if you'd rather.

We're staying at the Northampton Holiday Inn Express tonight and tomorrow, but won't get there until late this evening. What time is the convoy leaving the hotel tomorrow morning?

It is leaving at 0730. We'll be there quite early this evening but are going out for dinner and a movie so not back till late... May be in the bar for a quick one though :D
 
Anyone who attended the Midlands meets going? And are you meeting anywhere prior to heading down? Would like to tag along!
