    Re: National

    I'm heading down on the Thursday from the east.

    I haven't looked at the map yet, but I'm going to go west, young man, before turning south. Anything to avoid the pain that is the M25.

    Digitalcaptive, I might not be too far off your route.

    I expect to leave High Peak on Thursday morning about 06:00 - A515, A50, A38, A446, M42 J9, M5, B3212. Times are not set in concrete and I estimate my journey time will be about 6 hours. Let me know if these times/route suits anyone and nearer the time we can firm up on the journey.

    I live in south London so if you want to use blackwall tunnel we could meet up and continue from there.
