route sounds good

i'd guess we'd want to get to central London for 7am - when it starts getting light? Would a 5:30am meet at the services, aiming to leave at 6am sharp do the trick?

Dont forget the clocks change on the Sunday morning.
We will fly though London.
If any body has 2-way radios its a good idea to bring them along.

I think it would be a good idea to meet before hand so that we can go though the Dartford the tunnel together.

Possibly at the lay-by just north of the junction between the A264 & A21 on the Pembury By-pass at 06.00. (Just an idea)

If everyone is coming up the a21 how about we meet in the lay-by at the bottom of sevenoaks hill.
That way we can go through dart tunnell together and then continue with our journey.
6am at the lay-by

i expect Baz/Shaz and myself will be coming from M23/M25 direction....

Just out of interest is it out of your way to use the A264?
Traffic that time of day should be negligible.

I have spoken to Baz and he suggested we exchange mobile numbers and give him a ring on our position,
when on route.
I think its a good idea to meet before hand, perhaps you could wait for us at junction 4 and pick us up there?


ps. I have Baz's number.

Is that the lay-by just as the road goes into 3 lanes?

Yes just before the hill. There is a lay-by on both sides of the road.
If its easier we could meet where we did on the brands hatch auto tuner day on the m25 a20 junction.
