Can anyone help advise me of the approximate travelling time needed from Guildford to the Ardingly Showground in Sussex?

I need to be there early Saturday morning, and will be going via the motorway.

Just a basic idea of time would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

If you go into the RAC or AA website you will find a route planner, this will give you the approximate time from A to B.  I would guess you need to allow about an hour.  If it is The East Grinstead show and you have a running order I would get there about an hour before judging, especially if you haven't been to the venue before.

Then you can play "hunt the stay ring"   (in a building sort of opposite the main toilets)

Good luck to everyone going there tomorrow

im not going!!!!! got to work!!!!! :(
should be going on the 30th though :)

I'm really envious of you all. Good Luck to those of you going. :) Very fond memories of working my dog/s there. :)

I am there on the 30th too.  I am hoping my stays are early as I have to rush home (an hour away), bath and trim dog ready for an early start to Midland Counties in Staffordshire on the Sunday.  As it is Ardingly I obviously can't bath before I go

It is weekends like that when I question doing breed and obedience. :)

Can I ask why you are going on the motorway ???  If you are thinking M25 then it could be hours.

I live south of Guildford and would have thought you'd be better heading on the A281 to Horsham and the head for Cuckfield.
It takes me about half an hour to get there and and about 15 mins to Guildford if that's any help

if you need to get away,youll have early stays,which shell do perfectly,so you have to stay!!!!
or youll do a fab round with late stays,so youll hang around only to have a break! bloody dogs!
its worse when youve hung around all day for your dog to mess up the scent!!!!! bless um!

LOL.....unfortunately I think you are right and it will probably be a late broken stay, to top the weekend we will probably drive for over 3 hours to Stafford only for her to stick her tail up in the air. :rolleyes:

Hi Guest - we live just outside Guildford and it takes us approx 45 - 50 minutes to get to Ardingly from there (via A3, M25, and then M23). I'd give yourself about an hour - though the traffic shouldn't be too bad early Saturday morning (well not bad for the M25 anyway :rolleyes: )

HTH :)

45 mins from ash near guildford on a good run,it 56 mile from my house,
