Still open.

Seems to open between 9.15-9.30 and shut any time between 3 and 4.

Hardly ever open at Weekends unless they have a Car/Lorry/Bike/Dog!! event on.

Morning, I was wondering which of the viewing locations may be accessible without a car from Lincoln?

Morning

You can catch the number 1 bus to Grantham to get to most of them, but they require walking.

Get off in Bracebridge Heath when the bus turns in to 'The Crescent', head back to the main road and take a walk south on the A15 to the WAVE - it's about 1.5 miles.

Be careful on the road - it's busy, and most of it doesn't have a footpath, just a grass verge.

For 02, you can get off at Harmston cross roads (same bus). You can then walk along tower lane towards the laybys and get down to the crash gate and 02 approach - don't walk through the fields. Again it's a busy road so take care, even less of a verge here with a few hidden dips.

If you cycle, it might be safer - the A15 will have a 30mph speed limit and white lane is normally quieter.

Hope that helps.

Mike
