The south Central convoy will be joining the East Midlands convoy at Watfod Gap Services Junction 15a-M1 (i believe)
i think id would be a good idea for all us southern folk to pin point certain places oh the way up to Sheffield, and arrange stops where other regional convoys can tail end onto the convoy
(if that makes sense) 
comments and suggestions please

M1 is the most boring motorway in the entire world

God help me.

Thats obvious, what we are trying to establish is when people are planning on getting to Sheffield.
What time are the East Midlands boys planning on getting to Watford Gap services?

I wonder if its worth us going down the M4, up to the A34, onto the M40, onto the A43, onto the M1 at junction 15.
Does anyone know if the junction is past the services or before it?
