Well my mate Lee has been on about booking another TD. we are both busy with work and family stuff but arranged Cadwell on the Sunday 21st and Monday 22nd Sept.

It's a long way there, 210 miles minimum so no point going for just a day. God my legs are going to be sore after.

Any tips on doing cadwell? I'm in Novices with lee on the Sunday as he did not want to jump straight into Inters which he's never tried then Inters on the Monday. looking forward to trying this track out. Hope it's as good as we are expecting. Having Done Donny, Silverstone, Pembery and Anglesey before.

We are currently trying out different tracks rather than going back to the same circuit. Hoping to get to brands and Rocky next

So just thought I would put it out there and see if anyone is interested or already booked either day?

I have a few mates who are booking this up soon as well. and I'm hoping to find a nice local and close B&B to stay the Sat and Sunday night. Leaving that with my mate to book up the B&B/Hotel

hmm, I might join you guys if I can get another chap from Scotland to come along, anyone from Scotland fancy it?

Just looked online £80 for the van from Saturday till the Tuesday

Travelodge £70 for two nights

£150 fuel

trackdays £200

could be done for £385 with two bodies splitting some of the costs.

Travelodge...where you thinking of staying lol as theres nothing like that for at least 20 miles...... if your not roughing it your best option is somewhere like keddington house in louth, where most of the TD lot stay..

Tips...

Watch lots of on board footage, it's nothing like what you have done previously, it has some very tight and twisty sections, lots of blind crests, off camber stuff to boot and it's very narrow.

It'll take you at least a day to get your head around it so don't rush in.

Other stuff to remember..

There's no garages or power at Cadwell so take a gazebo and genny if you want to run warmers, you will be parked on grass unless you are there the very early/night before, note I think you have to pay to stay overnight also.

It's a cracking circuit, very physical and tiring much better on a smaller bike from memory, oh and stay left when going over the mountain ;-)

To add I have a pair of holroyd tyre warmers but unsure what Genny I would need to run it? 1KW enough? only have a 750watt one I can borrow but my mate may be able to get his hands on one.

you'll struggle to run a set of warmers properly on a 1kva genny!

Epic track Cadwell... I'm also hoping to do 22nd Sept ... smile

I worked out for most tyre warmers you need a genny of at least 1.2KW

Agreed I ran 2 sets off a 2.6kva one.
So 1.3 for each set would be about right.
