Hi wonder if anyone can help me out...

This coming week I need to get to Outo Kumpu (sp!?). I know how to get to the place roughly, I'll be coming off Prince of Wales/ Greenland Road, turninginto Tinsley business park or whatever it's called then heading up to Carcraft/Airport.

But driving past the entrance road coming off the carcraft road, I can seeloads of different lanes and barriers and places to go!

Just wondering if anyone knows where I should be heading with my car to park for the day. And also when I get in is there a reception etc? I'm going to the canteen and have no idea where it'll be, early in the morning.

Thanks for any help, I hate not knowing where I'm heading!

From what I saw the other week there are markings on the road for cars. Or there were at the enterance.

OK Thanks I'll keep a look out for that.

Don't suppose anyone's actually been in, knows where I should be going for the canteen etc? I really am hopeless finding things and get stressed if I'm late lol.

If you're going to the canteen ignore that entrance, keep going and turn right onto Shepcote Lane. Keep going round a sweeping left bend until you get to the traffic lights at Gate 1, turn right. Immediately inside the entrance, to the left, is a visitors' car park. Pull in there and walkover to the security cabin.

The canteen is at the end of the block on the right of the entrance.

Hey thanks!

So just to be clear if I'm already on Shepcote coming from Prince of Wales entrance, rather than turning right and going up to the entrance near carcraft, stay on shepcote lane until a bend and some traffic lights?

Thanks :)

Yes, and just to be really clear, gate 1 is near Tinsley roundabout so if you get to the roundabout, you've missed the entrance. Go right round the roundabout and take the turning before Meadowhall and the entrance is about 400 metres on your left at the first set of traffic lights.
