What about in the car tho?

As Lou says, most park outskirts, then get the tube, cos of it being dodgy etc. TBH, I dont know London, so im not much help, unlees I know exactly where your coming from, parking up etc, there's not much I can advise

 

Give me some details hon, please, then i'll have more to go on

Will try and make it to the meet-up, unlikely I'll be there by 7 though!

Bringing my gf and her best mate who's a proper raver

saffysue. Being from Leicester I know the route well.

Come down the M1 and get off at junction 2 (signed A1 and the City). You basically want to follow (A1/city) all the way into town. It's fairly straightforward

 

 

This is from theaa.co.uk route planner

 

94.90 2.60 A1 Junction 2 (A1)

Leave main motorway (signposted A406 North Circular Road East)

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

95.40 0.50 A1 Road merges from left (End of Motorway)

Forward A1

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

96.50 1.10 A1 Junction with A504

At traffic signals forward (signposted C London)

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

96.70 0.20 A406 Junction with A406

You'll then go down a steep hill with a steel bridge high in the air (the archway). If you are lucky it's a great view of the city skyscrapers. There are speed cameras down this hill so stick to the limit.

 

 

101.10 0.80 A1 Junction with A503

I would get an A-Z as soon as you hit town (or even before) as even after eight years here I'm still blind without one.

 

I have no idea what the parking is like around that area I'm afraid- just be careful where you leave your car.

 

If you need any other help let me know.

Russ 0796 6364 401.

 

I'm not going to Wildchild this time though due to illness and my sister being down. Have a great one.

 

My mum lives in Mountsorrel and I went to school in Loughborough.
