Me and Gwm are thinking

Tuesday - cadwell or Donnie
Wednesday - oulton

My thinking is donnie gwm thinks cadwell.

Whats cadwell like in the rain. Miserable with no pits.

Is there always pits at donnie??

I think 3 hour drive from cadwell to Oulton is too much after a track day. Or not idea.

Cadwell is only a hundred bucks though.

Thoughts and hotels on 3 venues

Cadwell is great fun in the wet, but st when you're sat in the paddock if you don't have an awning.

Donington makes more sense to go to if you're doing Oulton the following day, Oulton is sort of on the way back for you anyway. Would do Donington to Oulton in half the time that you would from Cadwell too.

Yes there's always garages at Donington.

That's the plan now, to do Donnington and Oulton next day.

Any recommendations for hotels/ B&Bs/ camping pods/ etc?

Would it not be easier to stay near Oulton then you don't have to drive there early in the morning?

[moanthebairns]

Doing donnie on Tuesday
Oulton on Wednesday.

Drive down and stay at donnie on Monday night then stay near oulton on Tuesday.

Makes sense now.

Anywhere in Little Bedworth is fine for Oulton, really quiet place so doubt it will matter if parking is secure or not.

There is a great pub there too, the Egerton arms or something like that. Well worth a visit

Stick your bike in your room when they're not looking

Thanks for your help as always.

I've stopped in a pub in Tarporley ?? a few miles from Oulton a couple of years ago.

It had a yard round the back for parking with high fence and gate which was padlocked.

We parked a couple of vans and a couple of car/trailers in it.

Sorry cant remember the name but only a few pubs in the place so google should find it ok

[moanthebairns]

got 2 hotels sorted, £59 for two days, secure parking, one with a night watch man, separate rooms, job done.

If these hotels/ B&Bs are rubbish blame is completely on MTB (and a little myself for trusting him!)

Now I just have to fit my delivered today tow bar to my car so I can actually tow my trailer down there...

If you get stuck give me a shout. As MTB can attest I can fit them in record time.

Have fun with that! Shouldn't take long. The wiring is the fun bit.
