MAGDALEN HILL DOWN - THIS WEEKEND - WARNING

Hi

Is anybody is planning a visit to Magdalen Hill Down, Winchester between now and the weekend? BE WARNED there is a large outdoor music festival on very close by :x Anyone coming from the east, Guildford, Alton direction would be advised to avoid coming on the direct route down the A31 from Alresford. I would think tomorrow would be the worst day with people arriving. Traffic could be bad.

I got stuck in it today at Alresford and ended up taking a big detour to get from Alresford to Winchester. Foot travellers everywhere of all descriptions including one guy I saw walking down the hard shoulder whilst juggling and trying to hitch a lift from Winchester :? No I did not stop :wink:

The festival called 'Boomtown' occupies fields between the A31 and A272 between Alresford and Winchester (close to Winchester)
