What time were you planning on getting there then???

We'll probably be there between 1 and 3ish, not sure yet, but I shouldn't think it'd be a problem if you got there before then.

Just try to make it after midday

Yeah make it after lunch and if you get there before us make sure you dont camp near the electric hookups as the 2 mansions will need them!

SpikeyG40 - 1 x 2 Man tent - 1 car - 1 person - 2 nights - Â£8

whitegtipolo - 1x 2 man tent, 2 people, 1 car - 1 night - Â£4

+ A bunch of people from from UK-MKIVs. Hope thats right, let me know if anything is wrong/different

I will be putting up some signs from the main road to direct people to the site. Those who came last year will obviously know the way, but the newbies may miss the turning. The signs will look like this:

I have also created a map with directions from the M1, which can be found here:

Location Plan

If anyone has any problems, give me a call/text on *REMOVED*.

I should be there by 2:00 on the Friday, so will see you all when you arrive. If anyone gets there before us, can you please leave the area immediately to the right of the gate free so we can camp there. Helps to see everyone in and out (and also has the electric hook ups

)

Hope thats everything
