Any help appreciated. I will be in the UK next week end which happen to be the VolksWorld show as well. I am staying in Horsham so what's the easiest way to get to Sandown? Do I have to hire a car?
Thanks

Volksworld show is near esher station. Horsham is down by gatwick if I remember correct. So you can get a train. The esher line goes from waterloo, and you would go into london bridge. so would have to go across town to waterloo east.

by car m23, and then m25 towards heathrow come off on the A3 jnt 10. wisley (where I used to live)
take the A3 to london and follow the vdub queue.

otherwise post on VZi www.volkszone.com/VZi and see if you can get a lift.

when we were over there a few years back. we got the train from knightsbridge to the show. walked from the station. i remember we changed trains once. took a bit over an hour from memory. was a good day. huge event. still remember the line of splits in the car park, and all the club designated parking areas. never seen so many rides.
