Is there any hard standing are I could park a 7.5t truck on? I may have access to one for the weekend but I'll need to keep it clean (ish) and not get it bogged down in a field.

There is a big area that can take many trucks. It's just a bit tight getting in and out but doable

Make sure if you're towing or got the big truck you come in from the west otherwise you'll have to go past and down the road a few miles to turn.

Cheers for that Jez, I've never been before...

I followed the satnav and it took me through Bristol suburbs up stupid steep slopes with traffic lights on and an ailing Grand Cherry that had a dying gearbox.......stress is not half the story.....

Boring......but M5 down to near Weston Super Mare the head east to venue......

If you're not towing then any route is good.......

Unless you're an HGV reversing God.........I am certainly not

Yep, I like motorways when towing, I don't mind a few extra miles to avoid the hills, even tho the D4 seems to breeze up them, what junction on the M5 is best then?

wildwood · « **Reply #82 on:** April 19, 2016, 11:25:33 AM »

Just had the map out....

Looks like J21 then left of Motorway to get onto A368 take right onto B3143 to stop,you approaching from wrong direction.....then acute turn to north to west harptree and entrance on right......

Google map will make it all seem slightly more sensible......

Right then.....off to the dentist ......after 12 years

so......
Hollywood teeth time

In through Bristol or Bath is doable but certainly raises the stress levels - a dying GC or a mega wide Ram and trailer would be enough to tip anyone over the edge.

To answer the question, yes there is hardstanding suitable for parking up a truck. Coming into the site through the bigger gate and then into that area might be best - see the street view picture below - I'd suggest the right hand gate then park up on the hardstanding which is down on the left of that picture.
