London/SE/SW train to Annual Meet
So, as this is my first time attending Annual Meet, will confirm it tomorrow 100%, I'd like to know who will be traveling from SE, SW and London area.
Are you guys usually meet somewhere on the M25 and then heading together up North?? How does this work usually?? I'm thinking about leaving on Friday, early morning-6am, is that reasonable?? I don't fancy driving all the way on my own.

Cheers David
Just looked at it and it looks like Ollie is the only one so far leaving more less same time and from similar location. How about you guys: Neil, Oli, Dezzy??? So far that's the only people I managed to locate down this end. Neil, are you leaving on Thursday and staying overnight in Scotland?? It will more likely be a little bus instead of a train....

I don't know when we'll be leaving, but it won't be 5am this time! More like 10am Friday at a guess as I'll be down the pub on Thursday night.
 Straight onto M40 at J2, then M42, M6 toll, M6 etc. etc. stopping at Annandale Water over the border for a proper break, maybe Tebay for brunch/coffee? Probably hit Glasgow for the Friday hometime clag!

On the 'trip through Glasgow' note..
If your Satnav is more than a year or two old, you won't have the new M74 extension on it. The M74 now goes all the way through Glasgow and makes a huge difference to rush hour traffic, so you'd stay on that until it joins the M8 on the south side of Glasgow.

Hope your all better behaved than when I went to ADI, met up with a few of the chaps in the morning for breakfast before the show, then on route the lead cars were charging down the dual carriageway in the ****ing rain at 80-90.
There was so much water spray I could hardly see and was desperately trying to keep up as I didn't know where I was going. You know who you are
