Quality night, loads of scoobs and newbies.
I hope the split won't put the newbies off. I had to get some lost guys out of the car park and direct them to the seafront.
Maybe the old timers should split up in the group so the newbies are well looked after. And RADIOS ON please.

I think the problem was that 1/2 the people didn't follow you
You are well experianced in leading mate

No NO NO
You did right mate
it was just that 1/2 of the guys speed off the wrong way because I assume they didn't know the USUAL route
YOU AND SPEC C DID A GREAT JOB even with Plod involvement

Perhaps we could just do a little flyer type thing ( Slip inside the newsletter ) With instructions / Directions of getting to Southend the ESC Posers cruise way , Perhaps include a little map as well
Can i put you in charge of this ??
Or an alternative would be to position a Blocker on the roundabout so all our cars go LEFT onto the A127 ( London Bound )
The short trip from the slip road onto the A127 & The exit of the 127 ( Next junction ) Also needs to be @ Nascar speed !!

Coming round the M25 you want J29 onto A127 Southend bound , follow this along till you come to the Basildon/Wickford slip (A132) . Take this slip down to the bottom go right around the roundabout & double back up the other side onto A127 now London bound .
Take the next exit off A127 into Mayflower retail park. Take second exit @ roundabout & go past KFC on your right . Follow this down to the bottom of the road & Tescos entrance is on the left , go past petrol & continue down to far end of car park .
Leave Tescos & TURN LEFT @ FIRST EXIT LONDON BOUND A127 .
Take next slip then first exit @ roundabout , get in right hand lane & take third exit @ roundabout back onto A127 Southend bound .
1. Please no doughnuts or flamefests in Tescos car park .
2. Please no lane weaving & indicate if you must change lane mid convoy .
3. Be ready for the "Underpass" slow down & launch.
Ditto @ traffic lights .

Nice one guys.
Please don't mis-understand my observation/comments. It was not intended at the leaders of the convoy which i believe, and everyone else will agree, did a good job.
I guess someone must have decided to take a detour and us @ the back, Her-@-the back included, followed. Hence spliting the convoy.
Great outline Mark.

Don't worry this has happened before mate.We get so used to just a few newbies being able to keep with the regulars. However Sat was the most newbies I have seen in a long time. And as soon as one car goes off route then others follow.
This is why people should invest in a two way radio. I have just upgraded mine to a pair of Uniden PMR885's. Up to 6km range.
Good to see you again last Sat.

Yep that is Spot on Mark
You really are the Man
We can get that on the new thread as soon as i post it
Perhaps can we extract a little bit of it onto a flyer ( As Mutts nutts idea ) On a single sheet of paper A4 Perhaps , This in turn then can be handed out with the newsletters
Love the Radios mate link ?

I'll shoot of 2 mins before and direct traffic at the mini roundabout
BUGGERS WILL GO LONDON BOUND
I assume people just think those who go London bound are not going to Southend
