YES -BACK IN 1994
> Did you stay in London or ?
DON'T STAY IN LONDON. BEST IS TO RENT A CAR AT HEATHROW OR GATWICK AIRPORTS
AND DRIVE DOWN. IT'S ABOUT 2 HOURS. NEAREST LARGE TOWN IS SOUTHAMPTON,
ABOUT 30 MINS DRIVE AWAY. I ACTUALLY STAYED IN THE VILLAGE OF BEAULIEU AT
THE MONTAGUE ARMS 24 BEDROOM HOTEL. NOT CHEAP, BUT GOOD VALUE PACKAGE FOR
THE WEEKEND, INCLUDING DINNER, BREAKFAST AND A PACKED LUNCH.
How did you get to the autojumble and how long
> did it take you?
ARRIVE EARLY TO AVOID THE LONG WAIT TO GET IN AND TO GET A GOOD PARKING SPACE
What would you do different next time. NOTHING
> autojumble worthwhile?
DEFINITELY, IF YOU HAVE AN OLD BRITISH CAR
I would like to go but I would like to know a little

TRY TO FIND SOMEBODY TO GO WITH TO SPLIT THE COT OF THE RENTAL CAR, HOTEL
DOUBLE ROOM ETC.
I WOULD GO AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT IF I CAN FIND THE TIME & MONEY.
JUST DO IT!
