Tractorman810 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I seem to remember the diversion at Stamford last April too yeah there was mate, got us 3 well and truley lost ,ended back up at the eye green hotle despite not taking that road, going via birmingham this time, down a14 then across on the a43/a16, if the trips anything like novs via that route ,then its a hell of a lot easier/less hassle ,you miss the m25 and it seems a lot quieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 That's your best bet Sean, up the M5, M42, A45 THrough Coventry, Cross the M6, Corby and up that way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 yeah it is, m42 m6 a14 then across, just seemed so much easier than the m25 way, same distance to my nans same hr quicker than my bros who was again stuck on the m25,plus i can get to markys that way to easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nielsa123 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 And there are some more dutch people coming.... I am coming with my girlfriend together with Rinze Bos and Klaas Nijenhuis (Britains.nl). Staying at the Travellodge in Spalding. If somebody is going to book a table just put 4 people extra on it.

Tractorman810 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 will be a big table at this rate i think nielsa, recon we will have to get andy to book the entire pub nearby at this rate, and we all seem to be in the travel lodge to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I think I'm going to skip the night in the lodge and head up early on Sunday.... the way it's looking Saturday will be a massive session which will seriously impair both my spending capacity and my ability to handle being in the halls all day!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nielsa123 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 The more people the better normaly.... I don't think I will be drink too much, because else I am going to sell my white MF 50th anniversary's for 50 pounds or so the next day... Maybe we can make a list of people who are coming to eat ? And somebody can make a reservation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
