First is getting to the right end of the country for the 'official' start day. This is reasonably similar to my previous longest trip to GBS during the IVA process so touch wood the familiar ground will be uneventful.
The plan is to stay overnight near Nottingham, then meet up with various members of RHOCar on the journey north in the morning.

I left home around lunchtime to try and avoid any Bank Holiday rush - I made good time, good weather & no traffic to speak of. Hood down and tonneau up all the way! Some looks from other drivers, one smiling thumbs up, and passed an MGA en-route. The M11/A1 route is a much nicer road than the M1.
On arrival a quick check of coolant & oil - everything was fine & all set for meeting the rest of the group in the morning.
