Backmarker Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 As you guys know from the Events thread, this months sortie is the trip to Super Car Sunday at Gaydon on the 26th. As in previous years, the plan is to link up at two points namely Hilton Park on the M6 and Frankley on the M5. After that, its M42/M40 So, we need to leave Hilton Park at 7.45am and on approach to Frankley, one of us will call the Frankley contingent so that they can join the flight as we pass. We should be passing Frankley at about 8am and be Gaydon for Bacon Butties and coffee by 9am. Could you please sign below indicating where you intend to join the flight: Officer Dibble +2 M6 Hilton Wing Commander Dibble DFC<br /><br /> North Midlands Esprit Group<br /><br />NMEG "the formidable squadron"<br /><br /> "probably the most active Esprit group in the world" Andy Betts, Castle Combe May 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinL Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi Graham, would you mind if I tagged along as I will be heading that way from the North, would be good to break the motorway boredom by joining a convoy. Hilton park meet would be best place to join ,I think! Dont worry,be happy............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigeninja Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Darren as we come from the posh side of town and are not catered for, i think we should meet up at the M40 warwick roundabout and get one of the hilton park lot to phone us just as they come up to that junction,so we can join the squadon hurricane's in our spitfire's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigeninja Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 thanks Ade,just to be on the safe side if you and Alex can ring,one of you should get me Graham,so I reckon you will be at Junc 15 m40 8.30ish, So I think if we get at the hotel at 8.15 ish we should be good to go. For darren and Paul and anyone else who wants to meet at Jnc15,there's a service type road leading to the hotel car park, dont go all the way down to the car park cos there's a barrier which will let you in but proberly not let you out without paying or a pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
