I'm at whittlebury camp site. Probably not quite as lively as your site but it'll do fine.
Also in the car. So tempted to go on the bike but way too much gear to take really. With the amount of stuff I'm taking,Its pretty much luxury camping.
Tickets for Farm Curve. that's a new viewing experience for me.

Should be a great weekend. Even with the rain. Hope you both have a great time...

Its a brilliant atmosphere there.
you're going to have a fantastic time I'm sure.
hopefully the rain will hold off for most of the weekend. At least Thurday is supposed to be dry.

it certainly will liven it all up. I'm really hoping it does rain during the race. Not too much mind...
I've fully accepted that its going to be a very wet weekend and ready to fully embrace that rain!

What a great weekend.
The rain held off Thursday, which was quite a bonus for setting everything up. Plenty of rain and mud the rest of the time.But there was some sunny times too. Beautiful weather for the actual race(perfectly dry the one time I was hoping for a little shower!).  It was a really good test for all my new camping gear, which all worked perfectly.
The field I was in was the mother of all mud pies by the time I left on Sunday but I stayed dry. Great fun tryng to get my fully loaded car of the field I was camping in(exit strategy worked perfectly!).
Some great racing and great company...Overall a brilliant weekend...
