So where are we next year?

What's the entertainment? apart from Nick being generally nasty to Pug 106 owners wink

Any dates? I suggest NOT the coldest May bank holiday on record laugh

Oh, and the football, if we do see it fit to go ahead with the games, perhaps the venue would be so kind as to not put the goals up 6.843 miles away from the campsite biggrin

Track time seems a good idea if possible again, there were a few that went out, and I'm sure that there would have been plenty more had Snetterton not done it's best impersonating the french canal system (complete with bright green canal boat hehe)

Looking forward to it, wherever, whenever.

It would've been a lot easier to cope with the weather if we'd had a bit of decent indoor space to call our own - especially if there was a kit drying room thumbup - and loo/shower less far away.

The showers were fine where they were as long as you took a bit of cash to buy a coffee half way there, then another on the way back, just to prevent limbs from ceasing to move.

Not too sure what your issues were with the loos? I had one behind my tent...and yours wink

Couldn't access the showers at all. No accessible shower on the site.

Loos - distance mostly, the proper accessible one was next to the pit garages, I couldn't get to them on my own because of not being able to camp near enough to any kind of decent quality path (should be better next year - I have a powerchair now). There was a quasi-accessible one in the bar but that was only open about half the time, constantly being used by people that didn't need it and had 3 or 4 near-impossible-to-open doors between me and it. Not so great with impaired bladder function, all in all...

Maybe somewhere more central or even, dare I say it "northun!" ... possibly Peak District or, if access to a race track is a must, maybe Cadwell or Oulton.

No idea if any more thought has been given though.

confused I though Snet was too far North (well it serpently is for me...) My suggestions were Brands, Thruxton, Goodwood, or at a pinch Silverstone?

I'll go anywhere, as long as good weather gets put on order biggrin


As a note, as i've now been, I now realise how friendly it is, and actually quite suitable for kids, I expect we'll hire one of those big RV thingys next year, and let the sprogs run riot hehe
