We've always gone up M1 without issue, theres a coupld of 50 sections but the runs fairly easy.
We have travelled previously to get there for 9am on a weekday, hopefully the weekend run will be the same or a little easier
Especially as people can start arriving for 10am.
The meeting on the M1 sounds like a good idea, as mentioned people are travelling from different directions. I would expect a convoy from the Hastings side (probably headed by SilverSurfer) and one from perhaps PPottage as PPP suggested. (we've met at the Copthorne Road Shell on previous occassions) (probably headed by PPP)
Worzel, Crowman and myself are looking at arriving early to help organise things with RCM......... so we will be travelling ahead of the time that the masses need to....
