alexp999 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Don't know whether to join queue on other side or just head home once through this. Don't want to sit in queue on otherwise only to be told I can't get on stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frembrit Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I assume it's not normally like this? Last time I attended I queued but off the A43, but that was about 8+ years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin01 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 That was some effort. Got in a while ago. Parked up. Mines on the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Back home now, 7hrs round trip, lol. At least I saw some nice Ford's on route. I wasn't the only one driving in the wrong direction on the way back either. It would have probably taken me another hour and a half or more from where I was to get in, at the time when I gave up. Didn't want to take the chance they wouldn't let me in after waiting that long on top of nearly 2hrs already. Have fun those that made it.

alexp999 Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 I might consider camping next year. Do you camp on site then can bypass the queues? I'm never going through what we went through today again on queues. I'll either have to stay/camp local or get there for gates open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
