Not this year; we've been to the Blenheim CLA twice before.
A CLA isn't an event you can get round in one day, even two can be a bit short, so we always book a B&B or good pub as close to the venue as possible. However you need to do that at least 12 months before the event otherwise you won't get in.
The traffic management at all CLA Game Fairs is dire and Blenheim is one of the worst; you have to be on the gate prior to 7.30 - 8.00 to stand a chance of a (relatively) easy access. I always use an OS map to go across country to get there, avoiding major roads. We take a picnic breakfast to eat in the car park which helps.
Brilliant when you're in though!
