beat me there Mark, Chris you would probably be better getting a train all the way, rather than drive to Ilford.

Nice one Tumble, do you have any problems with the native's while you are parked or do you engage stealth mode

Depends on what time you aim to park up in any tube station - these days they are almost always totally full up by half 7, many often half 6.

If you are worried about scoob safety and will travel a bit, then go to Epping, but be there before 06.45 or you won't get in. Car park there is very safe, with the security guard there actually doing his job properly and walking round all the time - I've used it at least twice a week for over 10 yrs now (the last 8 yrs in my scooby's) and not had any problems so far....

Failing that, Debden's OK as you have to go past the guard to get in and out and he clocks everyone in and out and that one doesn't get full till half 7 or so....

Last alternative is Wanstead - park up in the road by the old bill place (behind the library) and WALK down to the tube station (10 mins walk)....

Hope that helps a bit.....
