Ok ticket bought
Jay, I know you are coming a long way, so I put Newcastle to the postcode and tried to pick somewhere close to your route to meet up.
How about Sudbury service station for a meeting point?
If you put that in google maps it should be on the A515.
If that's ok with you we can then sort out a time. It's a bit out the way for me but keeps me away from Birmingham which is always good.
