Any tips for travelling from the north on Sunday?
A lad in work travelled to and back from Kent during the week and said that the Dartford tunnel and "round the top" of the M25 was full of roadworks, so I'm thinking of M6 / M40 / M25 around the Reading side then under London?
Im sure that there must be some Mancs from the north going to Wembley, so will also be a factor.
Recommendations? We're setting off at 6.30 from Liverpool, due for a knock at Princes for 12.30.
Same for the way back on the Tuesday.
Going back you need to avoid the Dartford tunnel at pretty much all costs. Much better going back up via the M20,M26,M25 West bound etc.
As for the Mancs coming down to Wembley, that lot will probably hitch a ride, so no need to worry about them. (and yes I am still bitter from the 2 cup finals they have beaten us at!)

I came a1 round past Heathrow m25 m26 yesterday due to the wind... planning on heading back via the crossing counterclockwise ..
I will update with the best route

Am due to stay over with my playing partner, but still don't know what time I will be arriving, may well be late so will miss out on lemonade and fizzy pop.
Cracking draw, playing with Fish/paperboy, should make for an entertaining round and take my mind off things, cant wait to see Fishs famous baby draw:thup:

Was proudly telling me at Cleveland that he can draw it with Charcoal, Crayons or Felt Tips now.
Won't spoil the surprise and tell you what 'it' is though

It's worth looking at M6/A14/M11/M25/M2 . Doesn't look it on the map, but its pretty much the exact same distance as doing the M40 & M25 under London. The A14 section is all dual carriageway. Ok, it involves the Dartford crossing, but to be honest, you take pot luck anywhere on the M25 these days. Shortest route is M6/M1 etc but I'd not go near the south section of the M1 out of choice.

Don't forget to go m25, m26, m20, you'll cut 15-20 mins off.
Yeah I know, I've been this route a few times now for business also, cheers 👍

I'll end up dropping on the 25 and j6, straight onto the 26 and gone!
I'll have a quick pitstop at Clacket, I used to stop there every morning when I was doing some work near Orpington.
Lightest of the wind at only 16mph and gusts of 26mph, we could just miss the light showers forecast which are from lunchtime 🤞

Cobham services is far better these days! So much more choice of fast food!
It is, I stop there at times when driving northbound but on this occasion I want to get as far round as possible and Clacket is the last services before I come off the 25.

Glad we are teeing off early, as forecast is for gusts of over 60mph around 18.00. Sunny and gusts of only 30mph around 9.00. We should be getting the full links experience.
Highsided vehicles and Wookie take care.

There you go ChrisD, that is the way to run a forum meet on a links course, book the weather way in advance like Wookie must have done
From RCP on Monday when on more than one occasion I was questioning why I bothered playing golf at all, especially as we stood on the raised 11th tee and the hail was beating a drum n bass tune on my nut, while my Footjoy waterproofs were telling me they had given up and raised the white flag. Compare that to today at RSG when we were truly blessed with fantastic weather on a fantastic golf course. My love for the game has returned as I sit here nursing a large glass of red thinking about the high points rather than the low's of the last few days.
Also, fair play to the North West boys (Liverbirdie & DaveMC1) who I played with today. They took the money off of me and Blundell and their 33pts and 36pts also took 1st and 2nd place overall for the day so whoever said Liverpool would not win something this season was wrong. :whoo:
In summary, great golf courses and great company.

Well organised Simon.
A great course, superb lunch and wonderful clubhouse. Royal St Georges really is top notch. As good as almost any links course I have played in fact.

Sitting on the sofa totally knackered after 1 brutal day and 1 glorious day of golf but adding up to 2 fantastic days away in great company.
Huge thanks as always to Chrisd and Wookie for arranging - the Kent meet is one I always look forward to.
Also thanks to all my playing partners over the 2 days - thoroughly enjoyed your company. And that also goes to those sharing a few post-round tipples in the King's Head after the absolute battering we took from the elements at RCP.
