Abingdon?

Im there this coming Friday with a few others, quite local for you. I think you also got Keevil, near Bath i think, never done that one, so may be wrong.

I like Abingdon for the Mrs to participate purely for the reason there is loads of run off!!, (not saying she needs it, she just feels less daunted) good recovery Daztongue out

If you really want to take it to it's limits and beyond then Bruntingthorpe is a must. You can test everything you want there and have literally acres of run off. Trust me I've had to sit alongside motoring journalists and Joe Public alike and watch the world go round at some stupidly high speeds. Every time there's a grin from ear to ear when they find the limits are way above where they imagined.

Oh and it may interest you that there's a lot of Nobles go round there wink

Not a bad idea. The best Noble service center is there and I think Dave owns the site? You
Might even be able to book time with Matt for
Lessons?

Try silverstone. Loads of run off.

Just take it easy anyway for the first time so don't worry about it
