Hi Red Leader
Could we also aim to meet you at the lunch stop.
We assume this to be the Fox, Pave Lane Newport TF10 9LQ.
I'm not a fan of long motorway runs, especially the M5/M6 Interchange.
By no means fixed yet, but a brief look at the map would take us from Gloucestershire, M5 to J6 (Worcester North)
A449, Kidderminster, Stourbridge to Outskirts of Wolverhampton.
A41 over the M54 and on to Newport.
best regards
Allan and Helen (VN66TSY - James the red engine)
