£18 seems a bit steep, but that's trivial compared to the petrol needed to get there and back.

Very true: 450 miles round trip for me, so ~= £150 in fuel - plus an > 8 hour round trip.

So I'm out, sadly.

Have a great day - and share photos please, of course

I am planning to be there as is Architex_mA8tey (Neil). The plan is to meet at the Pig bush Inclosure with the AOC which is 7minutes out from Beaulieu. Meet up time before 08:30 so we can tootle in together
