Don't think there's a meeting point as it's way too close to the start of the Rally.

Yeah Lewis just for the day! AS to expensive to stay over night, plus im in middle of exams so can justify a weekend away But a day out seems a laugh. Not sure yet though if going to catch a train up and back as it lets me and mate have a drink then. Though last train back is 10pm

Yeah true Lewis, but so far got train down to £30 return and if i can get it to under £25 where going to do it! As by time of Derv, Bridge hassel of parking it will be easier. Plus no hassel of driving etc and can both have a drink!
