I'm doing this driving day on Monday - the one that was written about in the Telegraph or The Times a few of weekends ago (but it's not in France this one).

Should be good - any tips?
Angelesey is really, really far away!

Wear something warm! (I live on Anglesey)

It's a short, challenging track - very twisty but you should have a great time. Ty Croes is right on the coast, meaning it's got impressive views but it does get very, very cold.

Angelsey is a very tricky track! Getting the most out of the circuit isnt as easy as you will first think

School can be taken faster than think, but you will have to decide whether you have 2 apexes or 1 and the turn in for the left on radar isnt too obvious.

Its great if it rains because there is usually a healthy wind so the track dries quickly.

Be very careful on the A55, as the police like to sit on the bridges catching speeding motorists, especially on a track day!

Have fun!!

It's not that bad, and you get to go through Wales for pretty much all of it - hard driving, but should be fun!

Good Luck, I'm sure Mr H will be a paragon of patience; just get the gear changing right - he's been banging on about that in his articles for Circuit driver for the last 4 months!
Have a good one!
