Pre National Meet on 16th March at St Fagan's

Parker · 7th February 2013, 18:07

It has been suggested to break up the journey for those travelling to the main meet at Carmarthen a stop off meet be held at the fantastic open air museum of St Fagan's just outside Cardiff. The museum requires most of the day to give it justice and is free entry with parking £3.50 for the day.

The venue try to accommodate car clubs so everyone can park together but to achieve this you'd need to be getting there for around 11:00am

Anyway, here is the venue if there is interest I'll speak again to the museum to confirm, just post below if you're up for it

About a 2hr- 2i/2 hr drive from central England, head south turn right at the M4 and you are there

To avoid the Toll bridges, head for the M50, a bit slower but no tolls

About an hour's drive if that..... depends on the pedal to the metal

From Llanelli probably about a half hour max

Depending on which venues you mean.....

In that case about 1/2 hour to 3/4hr at worst case scenario

But as stated... depending on how heavy your foot is

I believe that the only speed camera is at Port Talbot.... well I've not been caught yet

Thanks Andrew,I'm not really a speeder lol,so time not really an issue,we will probably make a day of it.I personally think this is a good idea,I think all National meets should be more than 1 day,thus giving members travelling some distance,a chance to relax with an alternative venue before all the excitement of the main event,just a possible thought for future meets.

Best Regards.

John.
