During the day, something like only one can in a garage regardless of how many people.

Think a bellend set his car on fire.

25l Max in each garage, no matter how many people are in there. It's easy to just leave it just outside the garage which is all I did.

Good luck with the overnight in the garage, I'd expect you to die.

It's actually quite warm out. I just got home and it was cooler inside than out. Anyway Loon, remember the more northern you are, the tougher you get. Have you never seen what they wear in Newcastle in sub zero temperatures? Nothing I tell you, nothing!

Oulton is beautifully sunny currently. Well,aq it is a few miles away, admittedly Oulton has its own weather zone.

You sure he wasn't offering you a job?
He could add to his card "locum paint jobs performed irrespective of location, forests welcome"

You ready for the downpour in the morning?


Did the track properly dry out?

For one session we had all but two corners that were dry, I went out with a dark visor as it started to rain after lunch and couldn't see if it was wet or not, tt.

Still I got my knees down on the hairpins which was nice. That's a first for me.

My chains still on but it's mental how quick it redlines.

Catching me out. Some corners I'm two gears higher that I normally would be.

fked though. Left at 3 this morning and only got an hours kip as they decided to clean the train tracks that are yards from my house. My room was like a rave with the yellow flashing lights and a noise similar to a dentist drill

If it's as wet as it was today I'll just come home
