If most of the London members plan to go up Fri evening, what time is best for all to meet at South Mimms/Potter Bar then?

I'm planning to be in London on the 26 or 27th so it would be handy for me also :wink:

Im sure some people arent going make it to South Mimms until after work, so we need to set a leaving time. I presume that we can get in to Billing at any reasonable time and its not dark until 10pm, so we should at Billing with time put tents up etc
If we leave South Mimms at 7.30 arrive Billing at 8.30, loads of time to test Jono's fridge. :lol:

Hows that sound!

I'm working until 1pm then I have to get home and change the starter motor. Hoping I will have all that done by about 3pm at the latest.


So, I can get to South Mimms hopefully by about 5:30pm if peeps want to leave there a bit earlier. We will have to pick up passes and get tents up when we get there and it's getting dark by 8pm.


I'm easy either way - if it's 7:30 then that will be OK.


Can we finalise a decision?
