Great Dorset Chippie Run Part Deux

They're still re-building the M4 right on the M5 junction.
Every night is 'fun' in all directions and Fridays are the worst. So allow an extra half hour or so even if you're just driving straight down the M5, and a bit more if you're coming off the M4 west onto the M5 south.

110 seems to be running fine. no overheating or wobbles

not even at 80+mph... and as S71 pointed out, just before I turned the stereo right up.. you can even talk to the driver without having to shout

Is there any chance of a nice chocolate or coffee cake please, no disrespect to anyone offering to bake cake but I hate lemon drizzle cake..... :behindsofa:

I know what you mean about Lemon Dribble cake 'tis the spawn of the devil - but just do what I do -- go without, or buy your own Mr Kiplings.

Hoping to leave a bit earlier but thanks anyway.

Right trying to work out both directions to the field and also how long it'll take.

Beasty sent map but need a postcode to somewhere near so I can tap it into the phone - help please

Seeing that I'm really well organised I've not even booked anywhere yet

I'm debating whether to book something near the run or try to find somewhere near the BB's field?.

Either way we can meet on the way down and head to BB's field with you then on to wherever I've found ( if I get round to it)
It's about 2 to 2 1/2 hours to Strensham where we met last time.
That any good to you?

It would be good to meet a few on the way down if possible????
Maybe a Chippie run travel thread this week?

That sounds a good plan...plus i actually remember the service station and how to get there.

What time you thinking of leaving sunny Accrington ?
