it's on junction 17 of the m4 at the eastbound service station, we'll meet you at the entrance or for me the exit to the main road
#7: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: hush1275, Location: newburyPosted: Tue Jul 16, 2013 2:18 pm ---- Ok cool. I typed it into maps and it says i have to go to junction 18 and come back on myself or am I just being thick lol

ah sorry mate, just looked at it myself and junc17 is before the service station , only thing i can think of is if you take junc17 there may be a road leading to the travelodge
#9: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Wed Jul 17, 2013 3:49 pm ---- Hello chaps, count me in!
So let's meet just outside Travelodge 6:20am? Those services are both eastbound and westbound, as they have a bridge over, so just exit M4 going either direction.
#10: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: hush1275, Location: newburyPosted: Wed Jul 17, 2013 4:03 pm ---- Sweet! Welcome aboard mate thats alright then I dont need to find a route and tab cross country lol!
#11: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 4:29 am ---- Blimey they have the bridge but it's not connected to the services! D:
So those going eastbound will have to u-turn at J17; for westbounders is all OK.
MattyP could you confirm you're ok with meeting point outside Travelodge?
PS: those interested in FCS not necessarily are checking the "Free Chat" forum. Including myself
Move out to "Events" forum? Better late than later than that :))
#12: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: hush1275, Location: newburyPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 4:48 am ---- We're meeting on the eastbound side mate so westbound people will have to go to junction 18 and come back on them selves or find a different route, if there's no connecting bridge. Im personaly going to go to 18 and come back saves getting lost lol
#13: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 4:57 am ---- Ah shucks, got mislead by Google Maps showing Travelodge at westbound services :{
Thanks for correction mate!
So just like

#15: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 5:45 am ---- I'm just trying to get to the services
#16: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: hush1275, Location: newburyPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 5:54 am ---- What right now lol
#17: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 8:31 am ---- Welcome aboard Sledge the services are just before junc 17 eastbound but there is a back road which you can take from junc 17 to the road where we are meeting at 6.20, from there it's only 20mins to castle combe on the a/b roads
#18: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 8:43 am ---- Cheers MattyP
Google Maps do not show it as a valid road, that was the problem

Cheers MattyP, I'll be travelling eastbound and easiest for me is to stop at the services. When will you be leaving those?
I can't find the mysterious road you are talking about, especially when eastbound services look completely isolated from any other roads except the motorway
Cool will be leaving at 6.25 so we arrive at combe with plenty of time to que lol if you get directions from the services to castle combe it shows a road from the back of the services and goes across the m4
ok now i'm now confused, my iphone shows the above yet on the aa route planner it says to go to junc 17 and head towards chippenham and take the a420 for a bit lol
#20: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 9:13 am ---- MattyP, see my edited post

#23: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: hush1275, Location: newburyPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 9:24 am ---- Haha fair enough mate. Wats it having done? Going well thanks just refurbed the wheels :-D.

#24: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 9:25 am ---- yeah that's it, where the green arrow is according to my phone we turn left there and head back towards junc18 parrallel with the m4 and eventually cross the m4 heading towards castle combe
#25: Re: Convoy to FCS Author: Sim, Location: West CountryPosted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 9:38 am ---- hush1275 bringing her back to the pre-accident looks some stitches her and there, chip&scratch fixup, PlastiDip`ed bumper, replaced front grille, as well as bonnet repainting is under way since even older accident
