What is there to do for the other half while I rip up my tyres?

Driving down the night before, Travel Inn, doing the day, then overnight at her sisters in Surry. Then maybe Devon and back north via Wales rather than M6. So we have lugauge. Anywhere to put it while on track? and we have one excited driver and one potentially cold and bored spectator. Is there anything for her to do or anywhere for her to go?

Cheers

Erm... no, no and no! Seriously fella, she'll be hacked right off! And yes, probably cold!

Your only chance is to take another car so she can disappear and do something else... definitely not a spectator day

So nowhere for her to even sit? nowhere to leave the bags? nothing in North Weald?

Lots of wide open space - plenty of places to sit... just not 'purpose built'

It's not at all accomodating for 'extras'... but then again, it is a 'driver' training day after all

Point taken.
Now looking for hotels in the area with a spa or something so she could spend the day getting pampered instead.

I would let her drive,even suggested it at the time of booking, but the spaces are fully booked now. Plus she has never driven the car before (her choise, not my instance) and it would be the ideal place for her to have a go. Especially as there is nothing for her to hit

Give her the option - pamper day or hard driving day. (I think you will have a peaceful day!)

She could visit the new Water Gardens and the shopping complex in Harlow Town Centre ... You'll be finished by 4pm and can go and pick her up ... take her a nice restaurant afterwards and relax ...

Cheers for the suggestion Bjc388.
Found a hotel with a pool and a Spa, and I think she'll be happy to lounge around there.
