Any sort of convoy potential? I'll be leaving from the West Midlands.

I am going, traveling down with a few friends on the MK1 Owners Club. Meeting at Moto service J10 of the M42 if you are heading passed there in the morning? Think we are meeting there for 6am

I was gonna go M5, M6 route, but can go this way instead.

You gotta hit the M5 at any point? As I will be getting on at J3 / J4.

Think we are heading down the A5 now and skipping the motorway all together

Not many photos taken today, I had hoped weather would be nice all day so only got the photos in show and shine area.
Weather turned overcast / drizzly this afternoon so couldn't really snap any of the general parking (there was a load in this area)

Disappointed that there were not many trade stalls at this event. Guess it's not their main one, but still a big show this year.

Thought it was pretty pants tbh

Half the amount of cars compared to last year and not enough going to justify the £15 entrance fee

To be expected with Japfest and Worthersee on the same weekend unfortunately. But yeah, didn't produce turnout expected.

I dont think you can blame Worthersee and Japfest tbh. I think they really screwed up this year being far too selective with the 'show n shie' entrance. They general parking had loads of cars which could have been ushered in to fill the spaces. The show lacked atmosphere big time.

A lot of people went Worthersee that would usually have gone to this event from what I can gather.

I agree they could have easily let more people in for the show and shine bit. Spaces were available on that stretch they did the car limbo and further down that road (which is usually packed full of cars).

Atmosphere was kinda dead I agree. I left at 3pm in the end having been there at 9am.
