FROM ESSEX (CLOCKWISE M25):

Travel towards the Dartford crossing, go over the bridge and go to a left hand toll booth - take the NEXT exit. At the first round about go straight over (2nd exit) signposted CROSSWAYS. You will now be travelling parallel to the M25. Go straight over another round about, and the road bears to the right, then there's another roundabout. Turn right here. Go straight over the next little roundabout and the pub is on the right hand side.

FROM KENT (ANTI-CLOCKWISE M25):

Travel towards the Dartford crossing, just before the crossing, take the last exit you can. (1A) At the round about, take the 3rd exit (right) and cross over the M25. Now bear left (1st exit) towards CROSSWAYS!. You will now be travelling parallel to the M25. Go straight over another round about, and the road bears to the right, then there's another roundabout. Turn right here. Go straight over the next little roundabout and the pub is on the right hand side.


FROM M2/A2 (EITHER DIRECTION)

Come off at Bluewater turning and head towards bluewater. When you see the signs that say "USE BOTH LANES FOR BLUEWATER" stay in the right hand lane. When you get to the roundabout, go straight ahead (i think) and join the dual carrage way. At the next round about (macdonalds on the right) go straight ahead. At the next round about (ASDA) turn left. Go straight over the next one (Burger King) and then left at the next one. Straigh over the little roundabout and the pub is down there on the right.

Hope this helps clear things up!

Look's like it's going to be quite a biggun!
Have a few Lupo owners coming along as Nelson said, and a growing number of Polo owners will be there

I am going to pop in next time I am around that way and get some prices for food. Personally I'll be having the badboy carvery but I'll get some prices for a range of meals they serve.

Thanks for now
Mole

Yeh good plan! If you wanted to, you could meet me on the A2 somewhere? (Im thinking the Esso just after the M2 goes into the A2)

Tell you what Pettsy, if you come down and persuade another member (and car) to come with you. I have a brand new set of MK5 Polo carpet mats that'll fit nicely in your MK5!

(I know thats sorta blackmail/bribbery, but who cares! )

Now THATS a deal

I reckon we could make this the biggest turn out yet for a UK-POLOS meet!

Come on Pettsy I bought some front and rear mats from VW dealer last weekend and they cost me £45.

im up for it, but only other members near me are josh and dan "hint hint"

Looking good so far, and still over a month to go!

For people who are travelling from A12/Colchester way. I met up with mole on Sunday and timed Marks Tey>The Wharf at 1 hour 5 minutes. So not too bad, you'll still all get your Sunday lie in!

Thought that an hour was quite good timing Usually take the A12 75-85mph, don't like to push any further than that normally. Unless I'm following mole!

Those Witham roadworks are a nightmare! Damn speed Cameras!!

Ok just to let you know....

I will have UK-Polos.net stickers available on the day priced at £1 each.
I will also have UK-Polos.net Mugs available on the day priced at £2.50 each! See the merchandise section for pictures.

Any more people gonna show their face? Come on!!
