Off to the boat show tomorrow for the final day.

Any one got any recommendations on parking? The last time I went was 7 products 8 years ago, and we parked pretty close and hassle free. Is this still the case, or have they 'done a Bristol '?

Cheers

I went today, parked in the westquay car park at the main show entrance parked around 1030 and ended up on floor 11 before multiple spaces appeared. However the plus side is its £1 per hour and 2 minutes to the gate.

I went on my own this year and now I sail I find I did the show in 3 hours as all the flashy stuff doesn't interest me anymore. A few years ago I'd be wanting to go on every boat going.

Cheers guys.

West quay car park, went up to level 7 - but only because we were following an F type that sounded awesome going up the the ramps! £5 for the day, and right next door!

Good to hear it, and it's nice to see parking at a good rate. A lot of the local towns charge more for parking, then there's gunwharf which is crazy prices.
