14:00hrs we will leave for our convoy drive to Southport, there are some great roads en route for testing your hydropneumatic suspension. We will park up in Southport for photos and food, there are plenty of eateries in the area (postcode PR8 1SB)

From here you’re free to do what you like, although some of us will convoy back to the venue.

It all sounds like great fun, Ray, with the bonus of folks'n'parts.
I know of some national rallies (not Citroen, of course) that haven't been organised this well!

Small update: coach is now picking up and dropping off from venue to make it simpler.
