Will there be signs on the road of which entrance to go to? I will be driving a hire car. Will I just park in a different town and walk the rest of the way. And hope to get picked up by someone.

Stamford is not the type of place to let me go ramming up signs everywhere so the best thing to do is look at the location map on the Burghley website.

www.burghley.co.uk

Then have a look on Google Maps,shove in PE9 3JY and take Peggy Man for a walk up the B1443 towards Barnack to locate the entrance at the Pilsgate Gate House.

Alternatively you could slowly drive along with the window down as your sure to hear my manic screaming……...

Thanks Ed. I will find you all. I am traveling from Peterborough. I will just follow any Aston martin I see.

If anyone's interested in forming a convoy from Market Deeping on the way through from the East there's a decent parking area and a place to get a coffee from 0900 at the Iron Horse Ranch house(before the Harley riders turn up for their breakfasts. Its about 15-20 minutes from Burghley.It's very popular with all. A nice place to stop off. I'm about 2 minutes away if anyone wants to meet up.

I did that once and nearly ended up at the owners home!!!! He had decided to call in at his house on the way to the next place we were visiting so glad we didn't follow him into his drive - so make sure they are on their way to Burghley!

Hi Pumpman, that might well work for us... coming via A15 from P'boro direction. I'll have a word with Mrs T tonight and see what she thinks... we'd planned on an earlier breakfast at one of our usual haunts (not at all salubrious!!!) although any extra p-break and/or caffeine is usually welcome/required!

Colin.

Sunseeker, you might be able to catch us at the MacDonalds / Esso petrol station at the top of A15 Werrington Parkway at ~8.45am. I'll PM you my phone # so you can SMS on Sunday. Let me know if you need us to look out for you.

BTW, for the avoidance of doubt for those that read my other post above... the un-salubrious breakfast stop is NOT McD's . Mrs T drew the line at that, especially in the Aston.

Colin.

Anyone driving south down the A1? If I can make it I'll be joining the A1 at A52/Grantham.

Well done with all your hard work Ed - we are really excited about it and I will ensure Mr Babe comes armed with dosh for the raffle and I hope there is a bag at the Auction ;-)
We sadly won't be turning up with the top off as the is a tiny electrical problem
Look forward to seeing you - and I reckon we SHOULD all wear badges so we know who we all are!! But I see avinalarf has that under control !
See y' all at the weekend!

Possibly!

Indeed Roberto,but my wife might just have other ideas.
Unfortunately wimmin do not appreciate the primal urges that we alpha men exude.
BTW ,I am very much looking forward to meeting you and the fragrant Mollie.
As we have not met,and not wishing to be presumptuous, what name s and slogans would you like on your badges ?

Heres a few facts about your day as the question has been asked on the original Burghley topic which has now basically turned into a list .

Traders to arrive from 7 am for set up,set up must be complete for 9 am please.

General Park admission is from 10 am but as I have the gates open from 7 am you may arrive from 9am for parking and display.

Its pay a fiver on the gate.

Drive slowly whilst in the Park please,once you have paid your fiver drive slowly forward looking left or right as you might see some Deer,the Stags are currently fully Antlered up and look magnificent.

Please follow my Stewards instructions as they are there to help with your directions and safe parking.

Please park where you are directed leaving a sensible space to the next car to avoid door opening damage etc and to provide a decent walk through space.

Have a look on google Maps before coming to familiarise yourself with the entry point,put PE9 3JY and zoom in on the B1443 Barnack Road.

We are using the Pilsgate Gate House,the only public in and out to the grounds in operation,I or a team member will greet you on arrival to relieve you of your fiver and supply some paper work to aid your day.

Don't forget to use your concessions card for the House if you do the tour,don't miss out on this as its spectacular and a must whilst at Burghley.

Have a look at www.burghley.co.uk to see what the House and Grounds have to offer,there's also a map and directions available.

You are welcome to arrive when ever you like after 9 am but please drive safely on the grounds as it may we'll be busy with visitors,if you are a later arriver please attract a Stewards attention to aid with your parking.

The Park locks the gates at dusk.

If I've missed anything please shout or better still as its a bit hectic now please send me a pm and I will reply.

Many thanks and I hope you all enjoy your day.

Don't forget the Auction at 2 pm at my big white gazebo followed by the raffle,the planes are coming at 3 pm……………stick around there might be the odd prize to be had,you never know.

I shall be dining at the George,with my wife,on Saturday,are you?
If so, please don't get too frisky,I don't want to spill my minestrone soup down my Armani's.

Will be driving up with the missus from South Wales leaving Monmouth around 730am if anyone wants to tag along.

I'll be coming via paintshield in Peterborough to get some bits, then off to burghley. If you see a big black van with my sign writting on (wouldn't want to be seen as advertising) give me a toot or try and keep up with me on the way there lol. Also, you'll be able to see me working my magic on a highly respected forum members car. Please, no comments about my weight though when you see me. I find it very upsetting and offensive..... Right off to McDonald's for breakfast lol.

Oh, just a quick note, it's fine to feed the animals on display, so I'll not say no to some chocolate cake....Ed.

Hi Pumpman, that might well work for us...

Colin.

OK, so we can meet you there, and we should have sunseeker in tow by then (not literally...). Just grab a quick coffee and then off to Burghley, I guess. I'll PM you my phone # so you can SMS. Looks like GaryU is coming from our direction too.
