We are planning a long weekend towards the end of February 2017......
.....and was wondering if anyone has experience of gaining access with our small (6.25m) MH to:
1. iFLY Indoor Skydiving Milton Keynes - it was a birthday gift!!
2. Bletchley Park
Gonna be staying at the CC CL - Milford Leys Farm, Castlethorpe as a base.
Me thinks it may be a tad to far to go on our bikes
So gonna use the MH as our car
So any advice on these venues or good parking nearby most welcome

No idea about 1&2 but if you are into garden centers then Frosts at Woburn Sands is good for a visit. Very close to the Woburn estate also makes a nice drive through. We were up there last weekend. Frosts also does a great breakfast.

I believe it is 35 miles to Milton Earnest where indoor skydiving is advertised, from Castlethorpe, if I have got the places right.

MK19 7HH to MK9 3XS is showing 8.3miles according to Google Maps
Any advice on parking a MH at locations posted?

iFly is in the Exscape complex in MK. so I would think your 8.3 miles is about right, being MK there should be plenty of parking mind you a lot of it is pay to park.

So anyone been to Bletchley Park in their MH recently

Re 2. Bletchley Park
MH parking is easy, you'll be directed up to the top (near the National Computing Museum - well worth a visit too).

The large grass area (top middle) is used for overflow/minibus/motorhome parking.

you should be able to park at exscape, there are tons of carparks in that area but you have to pay and you may have to pay for two, look out for the colour coding lines on the bays as they are different prices, ie the closer to the shop centre, the more expensive, the further away less so.

As I recall there is little free parking in MK.

Don't mind paying - but is there are there height and/or width restrictions etc
What is the name of the car park please and I'll Google it

I'd like to give all those who follow this posting thread a full report but it's SECRET
Gonna last visit the National Radio Centre 'cos I'm a Radio Ham (G8PAI)
This also entails one of us (me) to FREE entry to Bletchley Park

 

[Camping Gaza]

As a radio ham you are not alone on here twoakers......they are among us..

 

[Stagman]

Dont recall any height barriers. However it isnt the easiest place to park on a busy staurday near the place you want. You could consider the park and ride. My OH believes they were building one out near the M1 when we moved away from near there over 10years ago. Try milton keynes council website.
As suggested, a quick google earth check might also help.
