neil3728 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Its motorway most of the way so i can't see you having too many problems. It has to be worth the risk. Wish i was going, but decided against for a reason i can't remember now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsdad Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I think you will be fine, it's jut up the road from me and the main roads will be clear even if this snow does arrive tomorrow. Worst case if you get stuck you can go for a curry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Just go for it. If you run your life by what the weather man says you'd never do anything. On top of that more often than not they're wrong anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedge Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I think as you said, your biggest issue would be getting home. They have forecast anything from 2cm to 10cm depending on location. You could come down early and see what it's like about 12pm'ish as nothing is meant to happen until later in the day. Then you had make a judgement call and head back before it's too dark or the weather closes in. At least you get some time at the venue. Would be a shame to not go but as you said, it's a tough call!

private pike Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 we do plan on setting off from home at 6am we should be there around 9:30 am , we cannot find out what time the snow is set to arrive on sunday . we have scanned all the forecasts but to no avail , i think its thumbs up for a all systems go (we will pack shovels just in case ) , i would appreciate it if any of you hear any weather warnings to let me know , between now and saturday evening . thank you private pike .

captainsensible Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 4 passengers, so plenty of pushing power if you need it. See you there tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderdude Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Lot of folk parking on the fields today as car parks full. Would imagine if snow does come it could be absolute chaos there. Not a huge amount of bargains but show certainly larger than previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedge Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well the Met Office can't be specific so are issuing a blanket warning for now - here It is meant to be rain in the morning and the turning to snow around lunchtime but again no specific details. You could always toss a coin or maybe the ticket cost doesn't justify the risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
