Getting there

DFHGC Members and visiting pilots use the council car park to the rear of White Horse Wood and not the lane to take off. Access only exists from the Maidstone (South) bound side of the A249. if you are coming from Maidstone you will either have to drive along the Pilgrims Way to Hucking then over the top of the Downs, then 2 miles towards Maidstone on the A249 OR drive up the A249 past the show ground then take the Hucking U-turn some 2 miles further on,to return to the entrance to the White Horse car park is opposite the Kent county show ground.
