Car parking favour needed.

I'm going away in March for a couple of weeks with some friends. We're driving out to the alps but 2 are coming down from the NE and 3 from the NW. To save time we'd like to meet up somewhere south of Worksop on the A1 and leave one vehicle. So does anybody in the area have space for a car for a couple of weeks and not mind doing me a favour?

You could leave one at mine Adi but I'm about 25 miles off the A1 so would be a 50 mile diversion all round.

does it need a garage or just drive space - there is space at mine - albeit in Leicester

Thanks both. I'll see what the others think.
Just drive space needed or even street space but we'd rather not just anonymously dump a car in a random street, hence the request. Detours aren't much of an issue going but on the return when people are tired and just wanting to get home it'd be more so.

what size cars

Probably a Focus estate or Volvo V50, though whos car gets used isn't decided yet.

You can drop it off in my workshop if you can get it in.

Thanks but I suspect picking it up at an indeterminate time on the Sunday when we come back would be an issue.

2mins off Jnc36 of M1 if that's any use Adi?

Thanks guys, all offers appreciated. Think we're sorted now thanks to r1_pete who replied via u2u (provided the dates work for him). His place is just about perfect for us to avoid detours for both groups.

We had a similar request on the snowHeads ski forum (where we met) for the last month with no offers/result. Generally they're a great bunch but... 24hrs after putting this one up and we've got 5 offers... Gotta love LCB

Dates are fine with me, we’re not going anywhere till April.

Your car can live behind my L200, so it’ll be as safe as it can be.

Cheers mate. I'll be in touch once we've firmed up departure times, etc for the Friday... which could be a while as it's been like herding cats up to now (I'm as guilty as anyone).
