Scottish convoy to Bruntingthorpe
 
I hope admin don't mind me posting here. Is there anyone heading down from Scotland on the Saturday? Volvo Owners Scotland are leaving from Strathclyde Park on 30th March at 11am. Would be great to team up and head down en mass.

Cheers

Might pick you all up on the way as I'm near Scotch Corner.

I reckon we'll be M6 the whole way, so passing Tebay between 1 and 2ish

Actually just looking at the routes, going A1/M1 is almost exact same distance wise as M6. What do you reckon is the best road? least hold ups?

Weekend, so probably both the same I guess.

I thought that some of us were meeting at Cumbernauld at 10am? We are having a meet at VolvoJim's on 12th February to discuss the intricacies!
Regarding the route, the A66 to Scotch Corner is a more interesting road and at some stage, if you continue down the M6 you are also going to cross country so probably not much in it. I would prefer A66/A1/M1 but happy to tag along.

Ewan, I am staying at the Best Western, Ullesthorpe Court Hotel, about 5 miles from Lutterworth. A few of the guys including Gordon and James are staying at The Shambles in Lutterworth. It was fully booked so I couldn't get in there.
There's a few of the Scots guys are meeting at James's place at Slammannan (Volvo Jim) on 12 February to sort out the details. I thought it was the VOS chaps who decided Cumbernauld. I don't know the times for VolvoJims meet.
