The gates will be open and the driveway and lower car park are accessible with care. Take special care on the corner into the lower car park.
Lusteds will be back on site at 8am to continue clearance with the plough, though grit is limited. If you are accessing by car suggestion is after 8.30am when the clearance has started.
I am advised by John that A34 and A4 conditions are poor.

Conditions at BV - 13/01/10 - 6.50am
There has been overnight snow which has covered the drive and car parks.
Current update from security is that conditions are not good for vehicles. I will have a better update at approx 7.15 as to when ploughing may start.
As per previous
Walking or drop offs best method
Car share (preferably with a 4 X 4 owner) Site may limited certain areas to 4 x 4’s
Be prepared that parking maybe limited. Do not use the mansion house car park unless I confirm permission from 2e2
Be sure your manager is aware of your plans early on
Next update 7.15, I understand some roads eg A4 in Hungerford has not been gritted.

Update Conditions - 12/01/10 16.00
The car parks have been cleared and gritted - the driveway is clear so access to site is currently good.
The current forecast is for snow flurries over night – over night gritting is expected.
So message for site tomorrow (13/01/10) - I will obtain the usual 6.45am update from security and email and post on-line about 7am. If there is no update then assume conditions are same as this afternoon.
Expectation is that with the clearance done today and the overnight gritting that there will be access.
If conditions on site deteriorate then please as with previous mornings
Walking or drop offs best method
Car share (preferably with a 4 X 4 owner)
Be prepared that parking maybe limited – generally this will be the lower car park or safely on the driveway. Do not use the mansion house car park unless I confirm permission from 2e2

If you are coming to site be prepared that parking maybe limited or on the driveway again
Do not park in the mansion car park – this is reserved for 2e2 staff

11/1/10 Benham Valence Update
The gritters have been overnight and the driveway is passable.
There is still only parking at the lower car park and park with care.
About 1/2 of snow fallen overnight, the site is open and the A4 is passable.

Conditions Benham Valence Update 08/01
To confirm that the gritters have been overnight and the driveway and lower car park are accessible.
The middle car park is not suitable for use today.
The message from the site is –
If you are coming in by car please try and car share as there will be only the lower car park available
Take extra care turning from the A4 into Benham Valence as this is still very icy
Foot workers and lifts still a good idea!
For info the last few days there has been limited catering on site
Thanks

16.00 Update Benham Valence
The current information is as follows:-
Driveway and lower car park have been ploughed and gritted.
They are expecting icy conditions tonight – gritters have been ordered overnight, obviously their appearance will depend on a number of factors ie the severity of the weather!
The landlord will assess the situation at 7am tomorrow (08/01) and decide whether to allow access to the lower car park. 4 x 4 ‘s will be allowed in. If there can be any 4 x 4 car sharing please do organise.
If the main gates are to be closed please do the same as today and park safely near to site and walk the last bit. Do not clutter the access to the main gates.
Walkers will be given access no problem!
I will do an update after 7am on this blog and also by email as to the state of play at HQ.
