what time are you leaving im looking to hook up with yeti at squires cafe oop north about mid day and will be dragging maveric and his father in law who has just ridden the 15,000 miles from SA with me(now thats hard core)

[Whealie]

Squires is a long way up to be by midday isn't it? I think it took me five hours from Newcastle when I came back in one hit (in the rain) down the A1.
What time are you leaving and by what route?

you know what chris i havnt even given it a thought

but i was going to take a steady plod up the A1 have lunch at the cafe with yeti and he then has a cushty route to the bunk house i shall google it for a time and get back to you

[Chad]

it routes at 4hrs so if we left for around 6ish with stops that should get us there for around 12ish

What about meeting yeti more like 2pm? We don't need another early start. If we left Squires at 3pm we'd still make the bunk house by tea time.
That gives us time to find some food and a few beers.
We need a leisurely start to Friday too, and an early night Friday night.

Hi Whealie,

Im heading up from W london with MacP on Thusday morn sometime i think - im keen to...

I was simply thinking that we have 367 miles of the M6 to do on the Saturday so I might not do those on Thursday, heading up the eastern side of the country instead, which means the A1.
What route are you planning Pete? Chad? Rovers?
My preference is for a normal wake-up and breakfast with my family possibly even delaying leaving until about 9.30. The idea was the bunkhouse night would be the more sociable of the two so I don't want to start early and have a late night.
A 9.30 start would still give me 4.5 hours to get to Squires by 2pm (196 miles and 3 hrs 16 according to Garmin) and comfortably to the bunk house for dinner time (132 miles just over 2hrs says Garmin).
That would put me at the M11/M25 junction about 10.30 I'd say so a meet just north of there or at the top of the M11 might be good.
