Next meet - Eden Project, St Austell

[Rallye James]

After a good turnout to the weekend's meet, I'm going to start planning the next one now, to give you all plenty of notice :)

We will be going down to Cornwall to the Eden Project (PL24 2SG), near St Austell. This meet will either be held in mid-March or towards the end of April (I'm going to France at the start of April, so can't sort anything out for then).

Hopefully Taylormade, or one of the other locals will know some nice roads round there for us to have a blast around, then we can go into St Austell for food.

If you're up for it, get your name on the list - I want to see double figures at this one! :D

I'm not that far from Bristol but it would involve me driving up to drive back down again. So nearer the time if you could post your route I could perhaps meet you on the way :)

Sounds like a plan to me :D

[Rallye James]

Right, need to sort a date out - 22nd or 23rd of March looks good, how's that for anyone?

[mellowyellow]

Id prefer the Saturday so i can have a rest on the sunday afterwards :p

but wouldnt mind that much if people would rather do Sunday

[chilibabe]

I wont be able to come if its thn, pay day isnt for a few days after

[Brad]

that seem fine to me :)

[Rallye James]

Id prefer the Saturday so i can have a rest on the sunday afterwards :p

but wouldnt mind that much if people would rather do Sunday

Just realised actually, it's Easter weekend - I think the Monday might be a bank holiday?

[mellowyellow]

Anytime in that case then :)

[Ktkat]

Sunday 23rd for me please :) I'm probably at Llandow with PSOOC on 22nd and the 24th is a Combe race meet!

[Sammi]

cant do 22nd as mummy and daddys 28th wedding anniversary aaaand rovers are home.

[Marcs]

James how much of a trek is it from mine you rekon?
As long as its a sunday i can make it:D

[mellowyellow]

Id prob say for you it would be about 2 n half hours depending on traffic n that :)

[Rallye James]

Id prob say for you it would be about 2 n half hours depending on traffic n that :)

Yeah, 2 to 2 and a half hours I'd say - think it's about 120 miles from me, so probably about another 20 for you.

If anyone coming down from Bristol wants to stop by in Taunton, I'll join the convoy there :)

[mellowyellow]

Yea cool, i should imagine a few of us will meet up in Bristol to drive down, so we cud stop off on the way for people to join.

[JonB]

can i meet some of you at bristol ill be so bored by then lol

last time i drove down this way i was talking to myself by exeter

[Ktkat]

I will meet you somewhere on the way :)

[Marcs]

Well if the Bristol lot meet at longwell Green like last time, then head out on the M5 South and meet the rest of you at Taunton Deane Servive station (TA3 7PF). My geography isnt that good, but dont think Wiltshire and Weston based people will have to go far out of there way.

When you join the M5 James would you have gone past Taunton Deane?

Jonb, you coming from Derby?! fair play to ya, meet us at bristol by all means, We''ll no doubt meet in Longwell green leisure park (BS15 9LA)

[Ktkat]

165 Miles for me..... I can meet in Taunton thats no problems for me :)

[Rallye James]

When you join the M5 James would you have gone past Taunton Deane?

Yeah I will have. If you get off at J25 (Taunton) there's a big car park just off the roundabout at Halfords - that's probably easiest place to meet.

Jon, nice one for coming down so far! :D

[mellowyellow]

Cool, so Instead of Taunton Deane, We'll all meet in the car park off J25 M5?

[Ktkat]

I'm not fussed so long as I can have a postcode, otherwise I could end up anywhere, lol :D

[Rallye James]

Cool, so Instead of Taunton Deane, We'll all meet in the car park off J25 M5?

If anyone else is coming from Yeovil or Taunton way it's probably alright to meet there too. I'll get the postcode for it if anyone has a Tom Tom :)

[mellowyellow]

What sort of time you hoping to be all in St Austell by?

[Rallye James]

Shall we say 11? I think Sunday 23rd for now then, seems OK for most people.

[mellowyellow]

Nice one, to be safe we'd have to leave Bristol about 8 id say :|

[JonB]

yea may aswell its an excuse to catch up with mates that live down that way :D

dunno how far it is lol i know i did redruth in 5 hours, not bad bearing in mind were talking from jct 29 of M1 lol

[mellowyellow]

You do have a fair treck install! we're gonna be wanting to leave Bristol pretty early, so your gonna have to set off like super early haha.

You ok with just the postcode to get to Longwell Green, Bristol?

[JonB]

yea pal thats sweet ill hopefully hae the XSi on the road to savo on the fuel costs, c2 cost me £150 for a round trip :o

[taylormade]

Shall we say 11? I think Sunday 23rd for now then, seems OK for most people.

thats to early for me :D

[chequer]

Sunday 23rd for me please :) I'm probably at Llandow with PSOOC on 22nd and the 24th is a Combe race meet!
sunday 23rd is best for me 2 cuz i am out on sat and working at combe on the monday

[Joel]

March sounds good, either day. Bloody early though. I'll have to get a breakfast at McDonalds if we are going that early lol. :P

[plainer07]

Sunday is a day of rest lol, 4 o'clock rise surely lol,

nah sounds good m8, u got any ideas on wot we doing down there?

[plainer07]

im going to be travelling from yeovil, so if anyone did want to meet on the route down ect, probly on a junction services for most people as m5 seems to be the easiest route!!

[gti-biz]

yo plainer ill meet you in yeovil and we can roll down together if you want?? wen isit??

[taylormade]

if anyone wants to come down saturday we can go out for a few beers :D

[Brad]

dont tempt me lol

[plainer07]

yeh man thats kool, dont go buggering off without me tho, lol that'll be kool

yo plainer ill meet you in yeovil and we can roll down together if you want?? wen isit??

[kenich]

Hoping to have my car on the Road for Combe - If its running alright il take it to Cornwall the weekend after for a blitz!

[Rallye James]

If you two from Yeovil are getting on the M5 at Taunton, meet us at Halfords

[gti-biz]

yeah souds good to me. how far isit wer goin from taunton? and the beers sounds shit-hot, pub lunch and a nice cold cider, perfect lol

[106_Andy]

Hmmm, i get back from dublin saturday night, depending on the hang over and what time i wake up on sunday ill see if i can make it, what time are you meeting at halfords?

[Ktkat]

Are you going via Exeter? As it would be better for me to meet you around there somewhere.

[Ktkat]

Anybody???

[Rallye James]

I'll be going through Exeter if you want to meet up at the services there :)

[Ktkat]

I'll be going through Exeter if you want to meet up at the services there :)

Yeah that would be good cheers :)

[Joel]

seeing as its not far away now. For the bristol guys/gals

What time we going to be meeting at longwell green Mc Donalds to head down?

Its 168 mi – about 3 hours 2 mins from there according to google. If we are going down for 11 and wanting a stop on the way down, we'll have to meet/leave at about 7:00 am :o

What is everyone elses input to this?

[mellowyellow]

Im not fussed what time we leave mate, so 7 at Longwell would be all good.

[Brad]

i should hopefully still be there if car passes Mot :)

[Joel]

Sod the MoT, bring it anyway ;)

EDIT: 7am sounds ok :D

Oh and what day are we going, totally forgot and too lazy to scroll back through to check :)

[Rallye James]

How are these for rough times to meet up to convoy down?

Bristol, Longwell Green McDonalds - 7am
Taunton, Halfords car park - 8am

Bit of a dissapointing turnout today, me and Joel met up in Taunton and came down, we met Gav_106GTi at Eden and then went and had some lunch, then Rallyslag and his mate turned up and we headed off to Newquay for a few pics. Shame really as the weather this afternoon was lovely! I had a good time anyway, just wish there had been a few more there :(

Will get some pics up later on :)

[Quiksilver_TR]

Sorry to hear it was a small turn out.

Think I put my name down for this at the beggining.
Sorry, completly forgot about it! been so busy at work!

Be nice to see the pics later.

[Sandy]

Tried to ring Sponger, but he didn't answer.

[Rallye James]

James? Odd that he wasn't there, he seemed up for it yesterday, was supposed to be bringing me an air filter too :confused:

[Rallye James]

James? Odd that he wasn't there, he seemed up for it yesterday, was supposed to be bringing me an air filter too :confused:

Yeah he means me, its a nickname I seem to have been asigned :p

But I'm truley sorry for not showing up yesterday. My excuse is that I went out on Saturday night (not intending to drink too much) and woke up on Sunday feeling crap, I didn't wake up till 11 when Sandy rang. And I didn't want to risk getting stopped as I would definatly have been over the limit still!

James if you still want the filter for £20 I'll post it up to you :)
