might be able to bring the blue wagon along to the show fingers crossed anyway

Well thats me home, what a day, well worth the 450+ miles, think I can definately say I was proud to be there today just to see the smile on his face

Can't sleep, think I might set off now lol

Washed mine yesterday and it started raining as i started to polish it. It always happens to me. Think for the sake of the British summer i should be banned from car polish.

I thaught it was only me, I wash it and as soon as I finish it starts spitting lol typical, but then if I don't wash it I feel bad, I only wash the cart now when the garden is in need of some rain

Well that's the car washed and ready to go, guarenteed to pi** down in about 5 mins

Hi Rob,

I think I set it so we didnt have to go through Cheltenham, we go round it and then join the M5 @ JCT 11a, don't really want to get stuck in the Fairford traffic if we can help it.

We should be fine.

Rich

Hiya mate, you head towards cheltenham buy don't go thru cheltenham, I used to go that way every week when I was posted up at wolves so know the route pretty well, its quiet the back way apart from the odd tractor hence why I bought an in car dvd player when I was up there lol if you wanna head towards oxford that way il go cheltenham way and we'll have a 'top gear' style race to exeter services lol

Rob

3rd time lucky

Is this the route we want to take from Burford?

Maps

So we should be at JCT 19 M5 around 06:45, should be enough time to have a short stretch and then continue to Exeter, just in time for 08:00.

Added in Gordano services JCT 19 M5 also

Hiya rich, I dunno how to do them maps but we'll go from burford down the a40 (away from oxford-towards cheltenham) its much easier to get to the m5 that way too, plus you dont have to go into cheltenham centre, theres a back way lol and if we go swindon way we could get caught in the fairford(air tattoo) traffic but at that time in the morning I doubt it, is that ok? I think the route on this map would take us longer altgough I could be wrong, il pm you my number if thats easier?

Cheers

Rob

Hi Rob,,

I went past it on Wednesday on route to the mini meet, yes I know the place.

Once quick question, any ideas on the route we will follow, it might be best to try to avoid any area that could be busy due to the Air Show?

Rich

Rich, is it 5am meet at burford? thought it was half 5?

Cheers

Rob

Hi Rob,

Is this the one Maps

Links not working on this browser, sorry (ok maybe they are)

Rich

Hiya rich, yea that layby where the kebab man is on google maps lol il b there at half 5 ok?

Cheers

Rob

Hi Rob

Sounds good, is there a layby anywhere along there, I am not that familiar with that part of the A40?

Anyone else want to join us along our route?

As bailey said above, theres one if you go left at that roundabout, il wait in there ok?
