The show is held in the streets of what is possibly the oldest part of Bristol, A maze of narrow streets.
If you are doing the ride in, try to hang at the back, once you reach Bristol it will give you time to try & suss out a parking spot on the outskirts of the show & lesson the chances of being blocked in.

If you hang back you won't get a chance of picking a spot to escape from, in fact you'll be lucky to get a spot at all and as for parking together coming late, forget it. I've marshalled there before and last man in has very limited choices.
Best spot to park to escape IMHO is on Marsh Street or the paved area by the Cafe Gusto.
The best place to meet is at Gordano itself, it's a little fresh in the morning so I'd crack on down and get a coffee when you arrive if you have time. It's also a good chance to catch up with friends from previous years.
Make sure you bring a camera as well, there's loads of Italian porn to photograph.
