Hi,

My boyfriend is taking me on the Saturday to watch the cross country, and i was just wondering what time you need to get the in the morning in order to have time to park and walk the course!?

Is there anything else worth knowing from those who have been before, it's my first time, can't wait to go!

Thanks very much.

I like to get there at 8.30 in the morning so I avoid the traffic (but then I only live 10mins from there). It really depends on which direction you're going in & how far you're travelling to get there.

You could have breakfast in the car-park, take some coffee, OJ etc., & then start going around the shopping arcade around ten to nine to pick up some bargains before the crowds get there!

I think they are broadcasting Radio Blenheim on FM radio again this year, so you should be able to pick it up on your car radio about 5 miles from Woodstock. You might want to take a head-set/ear-pieces so you can hear the radio commentary through your mobile phone if that has a radio.

Be prepared to have a long wait to get out of the car-park

in the evening unless you have forward car-parking.
