katiepougher Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Are you parked up already? Is there much of a queue? We're about 3.5 hours away on a v damp M6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Gunpowder Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Not as many around as last year. Woman at the gate said they were aiming for 8am open but they cant open the gates until it stops raining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, as they can’t allow vehicles to wait on the road. My best guess would be to try at 8, if it’s not yet open you’ll have to drive past.

It must be a manic hour or so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeddyDriver Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 About 8pm last night ! Just had another van pull in with us about 10 minutes ago to fill it up , although a lorry did spend the night there. Police had a look at us a couple of times last night but drive straight past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
