Orwell crossing tomorrow?

[S60 PNV]

Just wondered how many people are likely to turn up to the Orwell Crossing (Ipswich) regular meeting tomorrow?

Was going to go along and say hello to some folks, but don't want to roll up and be the only one there

Though I presume it won't be that bad...just wondered what the normal turnout was?

Wtf is the Orwell crossing?

It's a lorry park near (but not actually that near) the bridge over the River Orwell, on the A14 down to Felixstowe.

Last decent truck stop before you hit the docks.

How about a discovery trip over the river to see the old Volvo UK HQ in Raeburn road ? Some pictures of the volvos parked along the road would be good , its that big open carpark space on the hill .
Volvo were there from the 60's until 1980 , it has been empty since , was the main UK import centre , parts HQ and training centre ..

been cleaning up the car to make it look nice and presentable for tomorrow, hope to get some nice photo opportunities.

Damn, cleaning cars is hard work

(Clearly I need a "real" job, instead of something in IT, cleaning this car is probably the hardest I've worked in 5 years)

Technically, it's on the same side of the river (North, or East) as Orwell crossing is.

Not too far away either, but no idea who owns the land, there isn't any public access to it anyway. There doesn't even seem to be anywhere nearby to stop with room for more than 2-3 vehicles.
