Just a warning reference TRAFFIC AT junction 24 to services could be very busy as it the start of Download festival at Donnington, 11-16 june

Police numbers will be up in area not that should bother us but you have been warned.

if traffic is bad filter through traffic to services we should be ok on way out
if it is wet watch this island as it has Diesel spillage all over it regularly.

My bags are packed made sure they all fit got to take small rucksack for sleeping bag

Meeting point Donnington
After speaking to Liam we have decided to move this meeting point to LEICESTER FOREST SERVICES which is just after J21 on the MI. due to there may be a large amount of traffic on the roads around the services .

Its 4 nights, it all depends how you do it, quaffing posh beer in the square or a couple of bottles sat outside the lodges, take away or heute cuisine in a resteraunt, take what you can and budget accordingly. Spending more money doesnt really guarantee a better trip. ;)
