Best place to meet and swap trailer off the M6/M5?
Planning on meeting a fellow member on Sunday to hand over the trailer and swap over the tow hitch - ideally would like a services that can be accessed from both sides as he's heading down from the far North and I'm coming up from the South - or at least one close to a junction so I can pass it, then come and meet him at the Southbound services, before he heads South and turns back-up North
Doesn't have to be services, something suitable off a junction would be good - lower end of M6 if possible
Will take about 40 mins to remove and swap over hitch, so needs to be away from a main road and something easy for both of us to find.
large Lay-by off a Junction would also work
Cheers Iggy/Ieuan
