    Bristol Convoy?

    Since there's a few of us going from bristol or the surrounding area, was wondering if we're having a convoy meet and head down to dover together. Having not driven there before it's be useful to go with people who have especially in terms of what time to leave etc.

    well taht might not be a bad idea, as long as my sat nav works over the water i'm sure i'll manage. what sort of time does it take from here to dover? going at normal motorway speed.

    erm, 3-4 hours I guess.
    Basically whatever your sat nav says as it'll be dead quiet on the M-way

    I will be driving down in the van with Jamie in his festa. your more than welcome to cruise down to Dover with us and then we can all split into small groups on the main land

    Dover is a good three hour drive so planning on leaving around 2 - 2.30am and cruising down to the meeting point for 5... ish

    I'll probably stick with you all the way Ryan, Just so i can save some fuel sitting at the same speed as the van

    You got anyone going with you? Whats happened with Mr Mathew?
