This is going to sound like one bloody stupid question but here goes.....


Where is Stafford?? (im cringing even asking!) I dont have my map book handy so was wondering where it was near and the closest Motorway & junction.

Is it a kit show like Newark, Harrogate etc?

its just like newark,harogate etc but its all indoor you can always do an RAC route planner if your stuck for directions!!!

Best route for you darren would be down the M1 get off at the turning for the A50 signed stoke/uttoxetter.
Bingley hall is on the uttoxetter road out of stafford forget the number of the road but I'll check it out for you A516 I think.
This is also the best route when coming up from the south by going in from the A50 you miss out all the M6 and the queues thru Stafford,which is a major ball ache.The A50 carries very little traffic.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Bob

Thanks for the sensible replies. I felt sure i was leaving myself open for being ridiculed.

Sorry for the hijack Bob.

bob - 7/3/05 at 12:57 PM

No problem,the A50 route is a good tip and does chop a load of Motorway off.

splitrivet - 7/3/05 at 02:19 PM

The junction you need off of the M1 is 23a Bob for the A50 to uttoxetter. Then the A518 to Stafford,Bingley Hall is on the A518.
Cheers,
Bob
