I dont like using little thief's either really but having been to the NAC thing before and paying a £5er for a bacon butty and a can of coke....I'd rather pay a couple of £ more and be sorted for the rest of the day.......
I just dont think I'll manage my breakfast before I leave at about 5:30am

OK

Thanks for the info Woody.
I don't think I'm going to be able to come up with a venue for everyone to get breakfast then.
So, we'll keep to the 0915 roll from the Hotel and I'll research an area to RV for a short run in to The NAC Stoneleigh - maybe between the A46 and Stoneliegh itself.

Sounds good but none of the gazeteers that i use have heard of it - as long as its before the Leamington turn that we need to take for the NAC it'll work. Do you have directions?

G

Whilst my memory suggests that the hotel/pub car park is plenty big enough, it may be barriered to non-patrons these days. Anyone know for sure?

Sy,
It's on the A46 North,a few miles from Jct 15 of the M40.Left hand slip road,signposted Warwick Parkway Stn(Park & Ride),just before the A425 turn into Warwick.I'm pretty sure it's before the Leamington turn,but if someone in that area could confirm.
Regards,
Woody

I reckon 8.45 at RV for run in so 7.30 at J4 M40 - what say you?


Cool.

AA Route planner says 2 hours 14 min journey from mine to our meeting point. So i'll be up nice and early and set off at 5am. :shock:

If its the Holiday Inn express on the side of the M40 there is a restaurant of sorts which is open to the public there. Well there was 7/8 years ago when i stayed at that hotel.

Timmo/Keir

Should we try to get to the hotel for 8.30am. The RVP seems to be in flux at the moment.

Sy can we have a definitive RVP for the run in.

Cheers Chris

Rolling from the Hotel at 0915 and from Warwick Parkway at 0925.

How does that sound?

Good to me Sy. See you at the hotel probably a little before 9 (kiss of Death!!).

Timmo/Keir back to original plan then.
