Paul and Martin are travelling to this rally on Thursday morning. I’ll be tracking them with the GPS (but don’t tell them!). If you’re going, let them know or say hello when you’re there.
I’ve put together some information about the event, and including the local fuel stations and shops (bottom of the page), You may find it useful.

Camping costs: No separate camping price is currently shown in the available information.
Postal ticket sales have now ended, but tickets are still available on the gate for £30.
Park House Barn is located at Park House Farm, just outside Milnthorpe in Cumbria, in the village/area of Heversham. It is set in a rural location surrounded by open countryside, while still being very close to Milnthorpe and its shops and facilities.
Milnthorpe is a small market town in Cumbria, North West England, with easy access to the surrounding Lake District, Morecambe Bay and the Yorkshire Dales. The town is also close to the M6 motorway, making the rally relatively easy to reach from both the north and south.
