Final Preparations

[jacobite51]

Have finally decided going to have a bash at camping and also drive down at a nice easy pace hopefully with new comp if Nvidia get the NV40ultra out in time if not will bring old reliable comp.so if you see an old geezer struggling to pitch tent you know who it will be. :)

[jacobite51]

[Zeuseh]

if u need a hand just shout for me :D

[jacobite51]

Ta it been a while since these old bones camped. :)

[jacobite51]

Hit Argos today got tent sleeping bag and air mattress so all systems go just got to get to multimaps and work out me route to get down and with my sense of direction that might be tricky.:)

[Mingtea]

once you're on the M42 you're on easy street.

[Afty]

Take the A7 down through Galashiels and Hawick and join the M6 near Carlisle.

From there, follow that all the way down and take the M6 Toll turnoff just after M6 Junction 12.

At the end of the M6 Toll (and this is the bit Ive only done a couple of times so can't remember the signs off the top of my head) you want to continue onto the M42, then the M40.

Once you're on the M40, you're home dry, take Junction 15, go round the roundabout to the last exit, the follow signs for Stratford Town Centre, and follow local LAN directions from there.
