Burghley update.
Discussion
Fantastic effort Ed. Well done and thanks for all your hard work.
Do not know why I haven't done it before (probably because I just accepted it was going to be a great day with so many Astons there) but just looked at the Burghley website - what a fantastic place
Looking forward to it even more now - if that was possible

Steven,
I was tempted to say dogging is welcomed in the Park, but I thought it might just tip you over the edge………..
How very dare you,Ed.I was tempted to say dogging is welcomed in the Park, but I thought it might just tip you over the edge………..
Oh dear me,it appears that making my acquaintance ,albeit only by way of this forum,has exposed your alter ego.
Gone is the genial, conservative gentleman to expose the racy,pacy Mr Naughty.
Thanks Ed. Really looking forward to this.
My dad, sister and her boyf will be also be coming up, probably in something as gauche as a FF Range Rover. Do the non-Astonauts go to a different entrance or will they just be pointed to a car park for the plebs by your army of stewards?
Cheers!

And for anybody coming up from London / SE, let me know if you want to convoy up.
I'm in East Laaaand'n, so will either be going up the M11 via Cambridge or A10/A6 via Bedford.
Happy to rendez-vous at a convenient location (contact @AMDBSNick for reviews on UK lay-bys) on the way with any other Southern-dwellers.

Morning Adam,
Its the same or only entrance to Burghley in use for public entry,on arrival they will be waved in at no charge by yours truly or Patrick.
If they want a concession ticket or 2 for the House it will cost them a fiver which goes to Burghley but it will save half on the House and Gardens,if that helps.
Once past the Gate House its only a sort drive to the tree lined General Car Park where all non display vehicles are requested to park.
Its only a very short walk to where the Astons will be at,if there are any mobility issues please let me know and I'll sort something to make it easy for you.
Look forward to seeing you on the day.

Greatly looking fwd to this. So much so that her indoors now wants to tag along and so we're bringing her Motorhome back from Italy a day early, thereby travelling an unplanned 600miles in 1 day, with kids, in order to be able to drive BR Project Mathis DB9 Vol 150miles from Wales to BH on 27th morning.
Er, still with me? Dedicated to your cause I am!
Anyway she who must be obeyed has therefore requested, nay demanded, overnight accomodation on Sunday night, as refusing to travel back to wales same day.
Question: does BH do Airbnb on those state rooms? As she's partial to a bit of stucco ( did Elizabethans do stucco btw?) or can you recommend alternative local hostelry?
Grazie
Ciao
