[rex008]

F**k last longers. Get involved in the drinking competition!!!

So far only 3 entries: Me, Hopkin and Mitch.

Target is 2 pints per level for the duration of the comp. I can't see it lasting past level 6 but we're gonna give it a good go.

FML. Was well up for getting in on this but it sold out by the time I was off work!

You worked for 5 weeks without a break? I'd join a union if I were you .

If anyone is in a hotel in central Nottingham on Friday for 1A and is too tight for a taxi wants a lift, I shall be driving through at about 3:30 on my way from work to DTD. Or indeed from the station, which I also pretty much drive past. PM me.

M11 to Huntingdon  join A1M then take A52 towards Grantham/Nottingham

Are you sure about this?

I don't even know where the M11 is but I can't see how it can be any better than the big road that provides a direct link between the two cities?

If I was going to London from Notts I'd be taking the A52 to the M1 then heading South to the end of the M1 which conveniently happens to be in London.

Still they do say that if something seems to good to be true then it probably isn't true so maybe you're right.

M1 to junc 25!

FFS, no no NO!

Coming from the South, J21a is a zillion times better than J25, the perfect route in, & even J24 is better than J25.

It takes me 2 1/2 hours on a good run from Leigh on sea but the risk reward of using the m25/m1 is jus not worth it if your coming from Essex as worst journey to DTD on that route took 4hours plus as the m1 gets snarled up regular

From the Leigh-on-Sea, M11/A1/A52 is deffo the way to go.

Is that the A46?

I went that way last week because that's where Ronnie's kennels are and it seemed pretty quick.

Me and Stu discussed this ages ago and couldn't decide which would be quickest.

What about going back the other way?

I assume that from the South it's better because of traffic from Leicester up to Nottingham?

Southbound never seems as bad though.

What about if you were doing the trip at 4am? Still J21a then?

That's the one & it brings you out right on DTD.

It might be a mile or two more, but deffo quicker, it's undoubtedly, far & away, the most stress-free route in from the M1 South.

Scenically better, too, with rolling countryside, picture postcard villages, empty dual carriageways, new RC bridges which appeal to the eye, even a Go-Kart track adjacent the A46. Part of the A46 is concrete-paved, as opposed to the smoother macadam blacktop which we all prefer, but even that is quaintly appealing to the genuine geek.
