I went there November and it read the same. Was so warm though with a slight wind that track dried in half hour

Maybe take your wets just in case though...

I was there for two days in Dec and it hammered it down. I quite enjoyed it though, and as most other people didn't have wets, I had the track largely to myself for one afternoon as it became open pitlane smile
It's a grippy track in the wet, so you'll still have fun

Think I'll be taking my wets with me on the plane. But pisses me off that Monarch want £36 for that when the flight was only £29!

fks me off that you at about 13stone ? George and normal build , and your tyres , will take us less space and need less fuel to fly you there , than a ( typically ) morbidly obese passenger , increasingly abundant , yet you ( we ) get penalised ...
Should be able to shove em round your torso and say fk off , paying nowt , still smaller than most !
Anyway - enjoy , rant over !

Wish I was 13 stone! Little bit more but the point still stands! In theory your air fare should be calculated on total weight you bring onto the plane, but I'm sure they'd still find a way to screw people over on that

It's a crazy logic. I flew to Malaga from Bristol with RyanAir for £37rtn, and they wanted an extra £30 each way for luggage and another £15ea way to choose a seat and even another £20 for priority boarding.

You've reminded me about Ryanair, can you take a helmet as hand luggage?

One of the advantages of hiring a bike for me means that I'll get to try wets for the first time if it does! Have you tried calling NoLimits Alex?
