Japfest 2012 SE Convoy - dep M4 J12 (Reading West) - 0715 depart

[Ewan]

Roll up, Roll up! Rather than the usual Chieveley services meeting for a convoy, what about setting off a junction earlier?

Just north of J12 of the M4, there's a huge Sainsbury's that's open at 6am on Saturday. It has a Starbucks if you need coffee, and a petrol station that's going to be a helluva lot cheaper than a Motorway services one. There's a Maccy-Ds too if anyone needs to get brekkie on the way.

So how about it? 7:00am meet and 07:15 prompt depart (it is 10 miles or so further east than Chieveley so we will need to leave a little earlier).

Good call Ewan ... It's where we start the Little chef runs right?

Anyone coming from the east want to meet J28 M25 and take in the tunnels en route

And if you're coming from Herts etc, I'm sure we can join up towards Ewan's mtg point

See you all soon

Regards, Paul

That's right, Paul - here it is from above... http://binged.it/IriN0t (postcode is RG31 7SA for sat navvers). Meet up out front somewhere...

A bunch of us (5 or 6 at the last count) are staying at Premier Inn Swindon West the night before so could join you. J12 to J16 (where our PI is) is 41 minutes so we could meet you at J16 at 0800. Castle Combe is a further 30 minutes

[Ewan]

Sounds like a plan, Geoff. We could peel off at J16 and pick you up then carry on to J17 and come off there...

Instead of coming off at Junction 18 instead of 17 and meeting up with the Tractor boys from the South West? Its only a few miles more?
