Bristol show

Just seeing who's going down Friday via banbury at around half 5.. We used to convoy in my cruiz days haha would be good to have a whole bunch of landys blocking the m40

I'm further south than you, but I'll be dawdling along the M3 & A303 some time on Friday afternoon.

I'm leaving Derbyshire around half 5 so I've got a nice long trek !!

I'm travelling from Glasgow so will probably be there early standing about like a fanny because I'm always a bit too eager to set off.

It's 6 hours from Glasgow to Bath/Bristol on a clear run at 70ish mph and then 30-45 mins from Bath/Bristol to shepton mallet. (not including stoppages)

It's like a top gear challenge.

Trying to do it in one tank of fuel, it should be well within range as long as I don't get bored and put my foot down.

You'll need to beat 8 hours 15 mins in order to beat the time I did it in driving from where I bought my 300tdi defender from on the north side of Edinburgh to my home (about 8 miles north of shepton mallet). The engine had a buggered number 4 piston annorl although it did have a disco transfer box fitted to it.
