Detailed report
The area is very easy to access from any direction, but finding your way through the industrial estate is a little trickier. Head for the Dakota Hotel and with that on your left, go past the entrance to the hotel to the end of the road and turn right. Pendragon, where the meet is held is at the end of that road. Remember the way you came in because it’s a little less straight-forward on the way out.
Once there, you have two car parks. The first is for visitor's cars (not very special) and the second is for display/special cars. These cars can range from a Fiat Uno to an Aston Martin DB6 and anything in-between. Special can be modified, supercar, rare car and enthusiasts cars like the Golf Gti or Porsche. If you think you should be in the display car park, then go for it. If they say no, it’s not far to the other car park (they actually join together).

Expect it to be busy even at 8.30 but also expect it to be clearing by 10.30.
We attend most Saturdays because it’s close to home and we see a lot of regulars there now. You could make this one of your chosen breakfast destinations.
Free tea and coffee are available and the breakfast van is excellent and will not break the bank.
For
This is a great destination for your breakfast drive out.
Good if you like to hear the sound of the cars as they leave (there is a short run from the exit to the car park to the first speed bump)
Free.
Against
Very little to be said against this meet unless you are easily upset if the main car park is full and you have to park nearby.
Attendance
Around 300 cars and 300 visitors but people are coming and going all the time.
