immm not had a drink yet i live 30 mins from Trago mills dont know what went wrong lol
welcome bud :D

Ye sure come its a really good day out. People from all over UK come. Last year a guy from Holland drove his BRM all the way to POL just for the day LOL

Ahhh good point about Trago being closed. We will need to leave about half 7ish as its a good drive and we need to be in brum by Midday.

Bodmin is 30mins back from me but its ideal for people coming from deep cornwall.

Still open to suggestions as I don't no the area at all as only lived down here a few months. Only chose that service station bcos I was on google maps lol

If i can make this I will probably arrange to meet you on route as I live in falmouth I will be going out through Truro onto the a30 dont really fancy heading down again as it adds to the journey. Maybe a meet up point a bit further up would be a good idea .I will confirm if I can make it nearer the time

can u not jump on to the 38?

I think im bringing my misses aswell, its either that or get a load of nagging when im back haha

were was it read about people camping over? would be a good idea though to be honest, few tins, BBQ, good old sing song round the campfire :) etc etc

To all those coming up from the South West and fancy travelling together.

In order to make the trip begin at a civilised hour I suggest we aim to be at Cofton Park at 1100 and meet up at various motorway services along the way.

Depart Michealwood Services (near Thornbury) M5 at 0930 (muster in the main car park furthest away from main building).
... Depart Strensham Services (Near the M50 junction 8) M5 at 1015 (Muster in main car park again furthest away from main building)
Arrive Cofton Park at 1100

Hopefully this will work for everyone even those of you coming up form the far South West and/or South Wales

Heres the map of the park for the day!


The event starts at 10am till 4pm Post Code B31 2BQ

You will see from the plan that the layout has been changed this year. This has been done mainly to improve access to the park. Entrance A is the normal entrance which will be an IN only. Entrance B is a new entrance that is also an IN, but also is the only OUT from the park.
