Just a heads up re ground conditions at Goodwood

[sussexbod]

First post on here - hello! As a local to Goodwood but first time of actually going this year to FOS, firstly thanks for such great threads full of advice re days/what to expect.

Anyway, just a heads up for those driving to FoS and/or wondering about footwear, the state of the exhibitors' car park is already churned up with liquid mud on top in parts. If any more rain comes (and we all know Goodwood has its own micro climate) it won't take much for everywhere else to go a bit squelchy.


Hopefully it won't but thought I'd pass it on anyway

Thanks too.

Any idea what the campsite is like?

TVR or defender ground conditions?

I've not seen the campsite, sorry

Though these two photos will show you it's not going to take much to turn grass to mud:

I'm to the south of Chichester and the rain/thunder storms have started already so am hoping it comes through tonight rather than tomorrow!

The bus shuttle to/from Chichester isn't too bad and drops you outside Gate 1 onto roadway, not field. It's not the quickest or cheapest option but it works
