id book up for Saturday but the football season starts.

don't think knockhill is worth £170-200

been looking at prices for days down south with van hire etc think ill just go down south even if its myself

if anyone fancies it, been looking at the middle of August for a trip down south

£120 for van £100 for fuel
drive down Tuesday night, oulton on the Wednesday full day £150
drive to cadwell at night
Wednesday cadwell £99
Wednesday back home

with another body your looking at £350 ish for everything bar food and fuel for your track days. I of course have missed out accommodation which will be the back of the van or outside if its nice. I'm not giving that lenny henry anymore money.

I'm doing Cadwell on the 10th (there is also a track day on on the 11th) and then croft on the 12th. Could do that.

Just a thought MTB before you rent a van work out how your going to strap the bike down. Some vans might be lined others might not etc worth thinking about.

im pretty sure I could kick his arse, however he'd be much quicker on a bike than me.
