I might pop long(if I've made decent progress on the trip down), as I'll be somewhere in the general area anyways that evening.
The E30 will be at home and I'll have the Alpina with me on this occasion.
Is the timings roughly the same as those on the link you've posted??

I usually get there around 6.30pm and its stacked full of people by then. Probably best to get there earlier if you can make it, check out everyone arriving, and grab a pint before the pub gets rammed!BadDave wrote:I might pop long(if I've made decent progress on the trip down), as I'll be somewhere in the general area anyways that evening.

this event starts around 4.30/5.00 if you get there early enough and have somthing worth showing you have the option to park in the show field at a small cost think its £2 maybe £3or get your £1 out and park in the sheep field would be great to get a few more zoners there

From where I'l be in Perthshire,the route planner is saying 7ish hrs to get to my hotel then a further 1hr to get to Ashby Folville,which means I'd most likely be late
