This is my first Chatworth visit in the Sag. The wife and I last night wondered how far people travel to an event like this as i assume this is one of the biggest in the UK for attendance of TVR's.

So...how far you gotta travel to Chatworth meet then???

Were travelling from Dereham, Norfolk in the Sag. Cant wait!!

In previouus years I have had some from Swizerland, Germany, Isle of White and Northern Ireland and I think Jersey, this year I have been contacted by someone coming from Denmark.
So really far and wide is the norm.

No TIV but about 3 miles, will take the kids to sniff some petrol fumes and experience some noise.

I'll likely be heading up on the Sunday morning this time rather than staying Saturday night, but for me it'll be from St Neots, Cambs.

Sorry all, spelling is not one of my things, especially as the iPhone doesn't help me out much in that department.

Takes about 3.5 hrs from where I am. Not too bad if you are staying overnight.
