Hi Guys the best I can come up with for Sunday is come off the M1 at Junc 23 from either the North or South take the A512 towards Loughborough then take the first right which is Snells Nook Lane and I will meet you there at 0830 with the passes I will not have the Porsche but will be in a silver Vauxhall Vectra No: Y412 PJM. see you Sunday

Excellent.

Bodyshop has just confirmed my car is ready so I will see you there. I will program the location into my SatNav and let the dippy woman who lives therein guide me to you.

I'll be in a Guards Red 944 S2 No. G939D**

Just to follow up on Daves post, You will be turning right into Snells Nook Road from a dual carraigeway so get over to the right early. There is a BP service station on that corner as a landmark, you will turn right in front of it.
Also Snells Nook Road is a bit of a narrow road so you may have to drive down a fair way to find somewhere suitable to stop.
Enjoy!

Sorry to be a pain but as I'm local......

you'll struggle to find somewhere to park on that lane.

so options are

1) The Priory pub car park, Nanpanton
2) J23 Head for Shepshed. 100m on Left, lay-by with burger van.

I would suggest option 2 for obvious reasons

or opposite the burger van is a secure truck stop which I guess would have loads of space and 'Full English'....I can pop out and check if you like?

Forcast is a bit patchy.....Who has the Gay Zeebo's? I have flags,Cooker etc

YES.

Fair enough... my only decision is now "leave at the crack of dawn" or compromise my "no motorways" principle.

I would use the M1

According to lunatic SatNav lady,

Fastest route: 132 miles 2 hrs 12 mins
"No Motorway" route: 128 miles 3 hrs 13 mins

Food for thought.

Weater looks realy *poo* for this!! heavy rain all day.

That's a pessimistic forecast!

AccuWeather (who I find reasonably "accu" most of the time) have Loughborough as "a couple of showers".

Specifically dry up until 8am, some showers until about 10:30 and then dry until we see some early afternoon showers around 1pm and then clear from 2pm until 5pm.

Might be OK!
