Right, all ready to rock n'n roll. I'm sharing a room with Johnny Graham (thank you Mr and Mrs Rvzzs for swapping to a twin). Carrera 3 is not available as it bust its rear (new) caliper - that's my reward for not using it. So, it'll be my long suffering 924S.

I'm flying out to Belgium sunday afternoon from Manchester due to family issues, so I will be with you part of the way.

Hope everyone stays safe driving up, and hope there are no breakdowns - me included-.

In any case, I'll be taking the following route from Cannock (West Mids), leaving around 16:45hr ish and hoping to arrive around 19:00hr.

Get on M6 Toll from Wolverhampton Rd, Longford Rd and A34
6 min (2.1 mi)

Follow M6 Toll to A5148 in Shenstone. Take exit T5 from M6 Toll
8 min (8.2 mi)

Get on M1 in South Normanton from A38
43 min (40.6 mi)

Continue on M1. Take A1(M) to A684 in North Yorkshire. Take exit 51 from A1(M)
1 h 27 min (92.4 mi)

Continue on A684. Take Brompton Rd, B6270 and Arkengarthdale Rd to Raw Bank

anyone I need to swoop up, let me know (Iain? :wink: ), my number is 07811 06 17 42. Lets hope that the 924S is holding up: I went up & down to Belgium in it last weekend and it went like the clappers.

Ciao!
