Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi,I'm going on a visit to Pen Green near Corby, Katterick. I've hear it is a wonderful centre. My question is , as I live in the Manchestr area, is it possiblwe to travel down there for a 10::am start. I am going with a coleague for one of there 'Visit Days' in July. Has anyone else done this journey? We are thinking of driving there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi sunshine We used to do this trip when we were taking or picking our son up from Cambridge. Take the M6 and just before it joins up with the M1 there is an exit for the A14. Once on there it is signposted for Corby. It all depends on the traffic and the speed you are going to drive at but you should be able to get there for a 10am start if you set off at a reasonable time. We could do Manchester to Cambridge in about 2 hours 45 minutes-but that was with my husband driving!! But you haven't got as far to go. Watch the A14 too because there are lots of speed cameras on it. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I've been too, and found it really really helpful - don't forget to take your camera, and an empty memory card for all the hundreds of photos younwill want to take. Gruffalo2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
