I'm off to the Cheshire one in June too. Don't really know anything about Peckforton Castle, but it fits in with a trip to Wales and Cumbria.

The 1/2 day vouchers on e-bay are the ones that LR dealers give free to customers who have bought, or who may potentialy buy a car. If you bought your car from a LR dealer just go ask him for a voucher and you may be lucky, we got one when we bought the ( used) car last year, I've just got another from our Fleet manager at work as the Local LR dealer is trying to make inroads into our fleet of mainly Audi and BMW so is encouraging us to try the new Ewok. the phone up and book price is about £250 I think. Still if you end up buying one at £80 that is a bargain, and Coniston Cold is a beautifull country estate, ( owned by the Boundary Mill people) which has on site the LR experience, a very good shooting ground ( where a few of us are going next weekend) a nice trout fishery, and a falconery centre all grouped around a country house hotel and restaurant.

thank you for all the info

Just called at Guy Salmon for a small part I ordered. I tried hinting about the LR experience days and our forum!

Nowt given away yet. I will try again,

Sometime hinting just isn't enough - be more direct and honest - just ask them for a voucher!

You'd be amazed what you can get by just "asking"

I used to work in an R&D department in a company in Harlow, Essex - It was an office challenge to "blag" the most expensive samples or freebies. Must admit I never won but blagged some great components. 2002 Honda VFR800
2002 Toyota Celica 140 Silver (mid life crisis - again!)
2007 FL2 GS Manual Army Reconnaissance Green + freel2.com sticker
2004 Toyota Celica 140 Black - Gone
2000 Toyota Celica 140 Silver - Gone
1998 Toyota Celica ST Pearl Green - Gone
1996 Nissan Primera 1.6 - Gone
1994 Rover Montego 1.6 Auto - Gone

I returned to Guy Salmon for servicing, despite a none too rosy history. I asked them about the Experience days, and was told that hey don't do them any more. Following yesterdays problems, I think I may be sending a formal request for one. I wonder if any of them are watching this site???

The local ford garage are good like that collect for free everytime it goes in, about 10 miles away, mot and fuel treatment £40 offered £25 mot insurance - if its to good to be true it probably is so I said no, I imagine they fix it bill you then you have to break the insurance companies legs before they pay anything out. At work

I just blagged a 1/2 day voucher, which should I book, Luton Hoo or Rockingham, Luton is just down the road and Rockingham is about an 1hr away?

Haven't done Luton, but would recommend Rockingham. I had a great morning there with a brilliant instructor.
