Saturday Morning Convoy to the Factory

[Kimbers]

@Bibs....anyone else have a suggestion for what time we will leave Dunston Saturday?

Would be great to do it all together and make a real show of it!!

Also, lots of people asking who are staying elsewhere as they want to meet us at Dunston to come in with us. 

[Bibs]

I'll be at the factory from 6am working hard mate, but I'd suggest you guys leave at 7 - 7.15am to get there nice and early.

[Kimbers]

Yipes thats early!!

[theelanman]

7am......???.......is that for the cars on display....or just general parking?.......

 

[Bibs]

Everyone bringing a car on site must be there by 9am at the latest. It's in the joining instructions you've all been sent.

[theelanman]

I had thought about 8am.....coz I'll need breakfast....lol

[Bibs]

If that's best for everyone then that's fine mate, no problemo

[theelanman]

I'll expect a mad dash for the bacon at 6:55 then.......lol

 

[Kimbers]

I think 8am leave is fair.

[dapinky]

An 0800 departure has been anounced on LEC for our few Elans..... now it looks like we'll be fighting everyone else for a quiet bit of carpark at Dunston 😀

Just hope the parking attendant is better organised this time 😂🤣

Breakfast starts at 6:30am 

[Advantage]

BBQ finishes at 6AM so there's plenty of time for a quick wash and brush up. 

[theelanman]

I had my car on the stand at the 60th and seem to recall breakfast being very quiet at opening time........

I also remember being at hethel for 8am........my mrs spent the day in the spa....lol

🙄If you're staying at the Mangreen Country House note the breakfast starts at 08:00 !

I spoke to them this morning and they said only one other person has requested an earlier breakfast but they will probably start about 07:30 - 07:45 😐

I did suggest that maybe most of his guests were going to the same Lotus event and would need to eat earlier than that, so if your staying there pick up the phone and tell them 01508 570444 👈

Be aware Norfolk Police will have Traffic Cars out and about. their favourite spots is on Slip roads onto the A11. Just so you are aware!

Steve and others at the Mangreen. 

Confirmed they will do breakfast 7.15-7.30, now they are aware there are at least 8 of us in need of an early start. We can also pre-order breakfast the night before to save time.

Hey Kimbers,

What's the route from there to Hethel in the morning?

Are you going South down Ipswich Rd and then X-Country, or up to A47 and then back down South B1113 direct to Hethel?

Weather Forecast superb!

[Kimbers]

Having spoken to many The plan is 7.30 to 7.45 at Dunston with a leave of 8am. Some are leaving 45 mins before and thats fine cause it will leave us less of a wait to get in!

I think the best route is A140 to A47, A47 to thickthorne and All to Hethel Road. Coming in the other wat (down to Swainsthorpe ande in the back way) will just cause issues with people getting lost.
