As there is no pre show meet this year, just wondering what time most of you are planning to arrive?

I'm aiming for 7, so a 4am start for me :( I'll just whack cruise control on and the roads should be fairly empty hopefully.

I'm going to be stopping at every service station with a Costa :lol:

I was going to start a similar thread, to ask the same thing. I'm planning on leaving 4.30 - 5.00, so expect to be there about 7.00
If anyone is going but not with a stand pass, I have a spare seat (only one as my rear seat will be folded down and covered with lude parts). Happy to meet nearby if I can save somebody paying an entry fee.

Good one guys.

Gates open at 6am, and you must be on the stand for 9am.

In theory there shouldn't be the traffic problems of last year, but we will only know once we are there, but I think a 7am arrival is a good one to aim for.

I've got Pete coming up and meeting in Bristol, and I've also got the West Mids boys meeting also.

This is not an official convoy, but anyone who will be passing through the M4/M5 interchange is welcome to join us.

Meeting point will be here:

Hollow Tree Pub
Brook Way
Bradley Stoke
BS32 9BA

This is 2 minutes from M5 J16.

We will be leaving here at 6:20am to get to Castle Combe for around 7am. If you get there and we're not there, you're too late ;)
