What time would you guys recommend getting there? Is it a case of earlier the better to beat the traffic? Don't think I can get there much before 10am unfortunately. Is that likely to be a problem other than less time to see things?

I haven't been to the CLA at Blenheim before but usually try to arrive very early at the others I have been to - it does avoid the traffic, also avoids the queues at the gates and you can usually find somewhere to get some breakfast before it all opens.

Went two years ago and arrived around 11am. No problem drove straight in That was a Sunday. I only live about 30 miles away and know the area, I reckon if you went early only thing waiting for you is a big queue. Very early may change things.

I approach from roughly the same direction as you.
