Hi all,
Yes will be definately meeting you with my girlfriend at "Gledrid" roundabout.
Think has a total petrol station at it with truck stop and a company selling tents. Will be parked over towards the trucks.
Route is ok as looks like will have to head out towards A494/A550 and in to Chester on Sealand Road. There's a speed camera on Sealand Road just before getting in to Chester Retail Park.
See you all soon. Can't wait

And what car will you be in?

There's always a few scamera vans dotted alongside the A5 between Shrewsbury and Wrexham. I'd imagine they'll be out in force Sunday.

Probably best if all the convoys stagger the arrival at Chester.

I think it'll take an hour to park up once we get to the racecourse.

Just a quick thank to Hammer man for taking the reigns. Great day and a 'spirited' drive there (Corley to Telford in particular) and a slightly more leisurley drive back.

Well done to all who had a hand in running the Mcrae Gathering events and merchandise, Colin would have been proud knowing that his supporters raised £53,000 +.

I lost boost on the M6 and had to live with 0.8 bar, a quick 'pit' near home and a clonk with the compulsory hammer and 1.4 was restored !!. Always nice to have a run out, and a few bangs and flames helped keep those behind me awake, although a couple were checking their tyres for a blow out

Here's to the next outing, and thanks again all.

Tom87

iTrader: (2)

Yeah was agood laugh, the ourneys there and back in particular. Look forward to the next outing. Managed to cane 3/4 of a tank in under 200 miles thanks to redlining countless times to keep up with you nutcases! Ah good times...

G4R3TH

iTrader: (2)

A good day and nice to meet you all plus the other hundreds of scoobies at the racecourse!

Managed to get stuck at the gates on the way out so lost the convoy by the time I managed to get through

As bmfcrash said, here's to the next meet.

Hammer man

iTrader: (25)

Likewise here. Nice to see you all... I need to learn to drive better!!!. Going to Pod later this month to watch fuddy whizzing round in scoobysprint. If anyones up for it, let me know... cheers

Hi everyone,

We thoroughly enjoyed yesterday and nice to meet up with you all. Great that I wasn't alone when joining convoy at Gledrid and apologies if the convoy broke up a bit on the last leg of the journey.

Anyway see you again sometime and hope all had a good day.
