Anonymous Unregistered A	With quite a number of us heading to the Pod, i was wondering if we could get a convoy going. I'm in SW London so will probably be going M4,M25,M1.

Best place on the M1 is Toddington services meeting around 8ish and for those coming up the M4 then probably just off junction 5 (30 secs) is a pub/restaurant called the THE MONTAGU ARMS. Could meet in the car park at about 7.15ish

(As a side what band is your brother in law in? I take it, they are from around this kind of area? Might even know him. May leave my house at around 7:30-8-8:30 latest i think, so will that be too early or late?

Anonymous Unregistered A	Oh i have heard of Andy Mack through mates, never actually been to see him myself or the band. Yeah i do go on Mr gig a bit. Kenno, dont think i will be able to make Toddington at 8 To be honest its a tiny bit too early for me. It would mean leaving a before 6 i would think. If you make it any later then im there! If not maybe there can be a second meet arranged there a little bit later?

We'll then drive up to Toddington to meet Markus. We could have a bit of brekkie and wait for Begbie and DocFrag (if he's had some kip.) and I'm going to make my excuses now... my car was making some odd sounds this morning and wasn't quite reaching normal temps. I don't know if this is due to less traffic on the road..
