dustypete Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi, we store owe caravan at Staplehurst caravan site in Kent , we was away Friday 25 may - 29 may as we arrived the main approach Road has been closed for 10 weeks, we had a few trips planned but because of the surrounding roads being mainly single track & other roads being ( through marden) very congested we will probably cancel, just though I would let others know as their is approx 400 caravans stored, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbee Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Where exactly is the road closure dustypete? I normally leave via Marden Rd to join the A229 Station road at the traffic lights. According to Kent highways there are road works but no road closures. As I come from the Maidstone direction (solo) when I check the caravan I enter via Clapper lane so don't actually pass the road works but there's no way I would take my 'van back along that lane. I'm due to go away in a couple of weeks time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustypete Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Hi chrisbee, I was in a rush last night when I posted this topic, I’ll have a look on google earth later & let you know, pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustypete Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Chribee, sorry don’t know the road numbers but coming from Maidstone over the railway bridge near staplehurst train station which is station road at the traffic lights the turning on the right is marden road that’s where the road is closed, we followed the diversion signs which took us through marden & along marden rd to the storage site, not very pleasent Complain to Maidstone council Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbee Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Cheers for that Pete. That's the route I would normally take. Will have to check out the diversion solo before I collect the 'van. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 We live very close to there and when we take our caravan out to the main road we go via Battle Lane, It's a quiet road so you don't meet much coming the other way and there are regular passing places.

warrenb Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Just seen this, we all store there I would be interested in peoples routes to the major roads of the area eg. M20/M25 Thanks Warren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Living close to there, the low risk exit to the motorways is out to the Staplehurst cross roads and up to the motorways via Maidstone. As stated above, going through Marden would be a nightmare, you could go through Yalding onto Seven Mile Lane but there is a narrow bridge at Yalding or you could use Goudhurst onto the A21 but again there are a number of quite tight spots. I use Battle Lane onto the B2079 and then up to Maidstone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
