Default Mencap ESC Scoobies crew Sunday trip too Longleat

Hi Guys & Girls.

I have just had a reply from Longleat regarding group concessions etc.
And as all ways nothing is straight forward.

Too obtain the group price £15.40 per person we have to use our own cars for the safari trip (there is a bypass road to miss the monkey's).

If we chose the bus option it will be full price no concessions @ £22.00 per person entrance fee and £5.00 supplement for the bus.

If we go for the group booking I will have to contact them so can we please decide soon
If we go for the bus option we can do this on-line individually @ Longleat - As featured on BBC's Animal Park

Also as for priority parking I will need to contact the events department and there would possibly be an additional charge. I was told though that there is a very large parking area and if we chose the far end we should be OK but no guarantee to be able to park together.

Baza
PS Great to see you all at the lodge thanks for the welcome. Roll on the 23rd May
Tiny mate have sent you an email regarding Dave's you know what!!!

Hi Baz well done mate & thanks for that

My thoughts ...

We use our own cars for the safari trip using the by pass for the monkey enclosure !!

Done this last time @ Longleat with no probs , Better than being stuck on a bus imho

Parking if it can be arranged all well & good but to be honest with the size of car park they have there cannot really see it being an issue getting 13 cars parked together , Even if on the day as we enter we ask if we can perhaps form our own little area within the main car park

E Mail looks great

Thanks again

Slim

I'm happy to do either option to be honest. Will go with the majority on this. Bring on the 23rd.

Another one for use our own cars & thanks for sorting this Baza.

Last time the monkey enclosure was only for "The Boss" & even the hard core watched safely from a distance.

He didn't get out unscathed though

This is an event after the Mencap day.
Some where for us too go on the way home just to keep the fun weekend going a bit longer.
There's still time to join the whole weekend last cut off date for Mencap is
May 14th.

https://www.scoobynet.com/essex-scoo...-25th-may.html

Can't see any reason why anyone can't meet us there if you like.
More the merrier.
May need to speak with Tiny or Flat Eric for times.

I will need confirmation of numbers AND FULL PAYMENT FROM NON MENCAP RUNNERS before the 16th May to book the group concession.
PLEASE PM FOR PAYMENT DETAILS.

Nice one Baza

Just a thought, it's a bank holiday weekend so it will probably be fairly busy so using our own cars will probably be better anyway.....think I will miss the monkey enclosure though!

cheers yvette. Just that i dont particulary want to take the car through so i may sit and have an ice cream whilst the others drive round.

Also would Sarah be able to jump in with someone who is driving round the safari??

cheers

The only dodgy part of the safari is the monkey section which you can bypass the animal's don't really come near and there are lot's of ranger's dotted around.
The price includes safari so Sarah could jump in with someone else
When we went all the expensive nice car's did the first part of the safari and all left before the monkey enclosure now them little f**ker's will do some serious damage

What time do you think you'll arrive at Longleat? I'm thinking to maybe meet you there?
Maybe I'll drive Gooners car - then I'll go through the monkey enclosure



Only joking darling
