Surely all this depends upon your taxi driver! ;)


It also might depend on what he's got in his WALLET!!!!!

For the benefit of those of us whose family left Lincolnshire in about 1880 (and haven't been back since :p ), could one of you locals who know the given names of every pothole please define the meeting point in terms of Damien's map on Thunder and Lightnings?

D?
That's the end of the runway.

Sure you don't mean B? that's the main viewing area, although I guess you can't miss the VE if you're headed to the main runway :D so probably doesn't matter either way :))

Indeed point B is the main carpark - and I vote if the mound itself is full we stand on top of Helens mums car!! :D

My dear HiHoneyI'mHome, POINT D is the closest to the entrance way to the mound I believe! :p

I'll be at the main car park and will probably be stopping there. Gonna have both kids with me and I reckon the mound would, not only, be challenging with a double buggy, but also, a prime target for a 2 year old to go falling off :D

Would be a good idea, but, I'm really rather fond of my kids......
