NW convoy to Buxton 29th June
A few NW members have arranged to meet at J8 M65 to convoy to Buxton for the mega mk1 meet, so to avoid flooding the main thread we can arrange it here.

Staffords, I work on Time Tech site so will have a word with the Gestapo in the Stalag 13 watch tower and let them know we'll be using the front car park to meet up. What time are we looking at meeting up??
I no longer have the Mk1!! I now whizz round in a Black 1990 3dr Mk2 GTi 8v but the roof doesn't fold back when the sun shines

will take a spin over to the time tech site in next couple of days just to make sure. As for timing not too sure does anyone have the correct postcode for the time tech site and I will run through RAC planner. ANy preference on if we use motorways or not?

How long does it take to get to Buxton?? I've got a sat nav so we should be ok for getting there, can i also suggest that we meet a little earlier to make sure everyone arrives on time and to get some pre convoy piccies :wink:
Djheap it don't matter to me if we use motorways or not so i'm easy. Obviously i can't speak for everyone though.

djheap, it's BB20 ….Blackburn Rd, Simonstone (A678).
It should take about an hour and a half if we go motorway (M66 & M60), off at Stockport then A6 to Buxton(driven there more times than I care to remember but a nice run once through Stockport) so could meet up with Boltonians & Mancunians en-route. So if we leave say 2hrs before meet time in Buxton should be plenty of time. :y:

We could meet A5OPY @ Heywood & Pilsworth Ind Est (Cinema car park) would only add 5 mins to journey. It's right on the side of M66. :dontknow:

Anyone else mind if we jump off the M66 at B&Q to collect A5OPY?? He said he will be there around 11.20 so its on route, we may even get a few more from that area

is everyone still fine for time retail park at 11am?
and then pick up a5opy at good ole B&Q.
No last minute panicks for me, so far, unlike last time when I found a fuel leak and early-1800 renamed the car fireball1.
also looks like might pick up better weather as we travel towards buxton, forcast for buxton says sat and sunday sunny intervals 21 and 18c respectively.

Just a suggestion, shoot me down if i'm being a pain, but does anyone else fancy meeting around 10:45 for introductions and maybe a couple of pics? Don't know about the rest of you but i've not met any of you before except A5OPY and we are meeting him at Bury anyway. Just a suggestion
