[thru_a_lupe]

aahhhhh got pitch 73 now! happy with that.... and by the hedge so sheltered from the sea breeze!

 

[Tiki-Al]

sweet! see you there.

you surf thru? I try

 

[thru_a_lupe]

yeah...been trying on and off for 3 or 4 years! :lol:

 

[ant]

You know i've spent the last few days thinking Emma and i should travel down in the caddy and leave the bay here.

Starting to change my mind now..... need to get me brakes sorted me thinks.

 

[windsurfer]

Dude, you've got to take the Bay! :mrgreen:

 

[thru_a_lupe]

well i wont talk to you if you dont arrive eb stylee....!!!! :lol:

 

[ant]

if we travel down in frank we will proberly leave friday night (from stafford) and stay the night at a service station south of bristol. They normally charge about £10(robbing tw~ts) for you to park up on thier car park for the night but it splits the journey up for us.
Breakfast and then its not far to Lobb-on fields 8). Also if we leave the services early enough we will hopefully miss the bankholiday traffic.

Hi Ant, we could meet up with you and travel down to lobb-on if you like. What services you thinking, Avonmouth?

 

[ant]

Well last time we did this we traveled down to Taunton dean which is between j25/j26 if memory serves. To be fair that is long way from stafford after a day at work.

I'm not sure were avonmouthservices is what junction is it at? the one just after brizol is gordanno isn't it?

Windsurfer si you up for convoy down the m5 to services on fri night?

 

[windsurfer]

Dude, sounds like a plan, I fancy breaking the journey up and a convoy sounds fun.
Took us 4 and a quarter hours to get back from Woolacombe yesterday! :mrgreen: :evil:

You gonna help me fit my new bumper trim?

Taunton Dean is just before J26, we get of at 27 so it is super far for you Ant, J22 is probably better (can't remember what it's called).

 

[Tiki-Al]

yeah gordano, J19 I think, or you have sedgemoor which is J22.

Si traffic dependant pencil in between 7-8 will that be ok?

I shall look forward to cracking open a beer, Corona though, not your canned **** Ant :lol:

Re: time, do you mean meet at junction 9 (M5) between 7 and 8?, that's ok for us. We will need to co-ordinate where to meet but it sounds super cool!

The kids should fall asleep on the journey!

 

[ant]

where is the nearest junction to you then si, don't you live near junction 7 or are there services to meet at junction 9.


Thru the loop what day you traveling down and where exactly is "the shire"? you want join this convoy?

 

[windsurfer]

To go south on the M5 I go through upton upon severn, get on the M50 for 1 junction and then join the M5 (just before junction 8). I said j9 because I could get off there, wait for you and then re-join! There are services just before j8 but to get to them I'd have to go to Worcester first which is out of the way, it's do-able though :mrgreen:

 

[ant]

no dude 9 is cool

 

[Dave M]

We're heading down to Woolacombe on Friday morning for a few days . Good to see there will be some more EB's in the area 8) . I'll keep my eyes open for you all, we'll be in my 72 dormy & my mates 75 tin top.

Yep sedge is good for us... just let me know what time dude, earlier the better for us as the traffic will probably be chaos!
I set off from bristol at 7.30 this weekend and it was busy but moving.

Thinking of taking the tuesday off now too so I don't have to drive back on the monday.
