How long does it take to get from Clacket Lane services to the Tescos?
With what I believe is through a section of road works?? Sorry my knowledge of that area is not great.

Can the Gazebo go up without guy ropes? Weather isn't looking too good according to the BBC this morning and we'll struggle to get tent pegs into the concrete of the Brooklands banking.
Hoping I get a dry spell tomorrow to do my brakes otherwise I won't be going. Shane |

Weather looks changeable so i think we'll have to just see what happens, don't think the forecast is going to be too accurate. Its already changed in the last hour |

Yeah, too windy for an accurate forecast.
Pack your coats and wellies and dress up warmly... that usually guarantees good weather! |

I'll have my kids so will be playing it by ear, they'll be miserable if it's cold and wet all day, really hope it's going to be dry as it looks like a good day.

Managed to find half an hour to give the car a quick wash, but it isn't up to my usual standards... no time for polish, etc. Hope it isn't an embarrassment compared to the rest out you tomorrow.

Just to say if I am not there, then I will be at home with my head down the toilet. A planned birthday get together for a friend tonight now sounds like it is going to get messier than first thought.....oh dear! Apologies if I don't get there, but spare a thought for me if this is the case.

Sorry I too am out!!!
After a lot of thought !!!!, Having just watched latest weather forecast I have decided I can not justify a 144 mile round trip. All display and track demonstration cars will have exclusive entry via the Brooklands Road entrance For those that are still going there is 6 places to have a drive up the hill. CJ is booked in to have a drive on the Mercedes Track, The event organisers name is Phil Ward. I hope those of you that attend have a good time !!

Good to meet some of you today. Bit of a shame it was as wet as it was, but still a good little event I thought.
Some interesting cars there and we got a good look at the underside of Concorde if nothing else. |
|
#175

good to see everyone that isn't scared to get wet.
nice roast dinner on way home warmed us up and nice to get the Scoob out. hopefully Steve got a shot of me going round the banking |

steve, claire, jo and i were the last to leave i think and they hadn't started the hill climb, i almost jumped into the briefing but thought better of it.

I await your pics

Weather was pretty shocking wasn't it. Thanks to those that did make it - we ended up with 6 scoobs in the end. They started running the hill about 2:30pm but Simon/Jo and Claire/I were the last to leave as they were just setting it up. Tbh, the hill looked pretty bumpy and narrow to be hooning up there, considering a river running down it lol
|
|
#184
|

I've got a few to sort out
Sam - did you manage to get any of the group lined up on the banking before leaving? |
|
#185
|

|

And photo thread up here:

Sam and I each got some of the group.
Will sort mine out this evening or tomorrow hopefully. |

No not really. Its not really usable - steep and covered in wet mould, and pretty bumpy too. Its showing the signs of its age!
|

The guy who showed us in had kittens at the sight of you turning on the banking. He would have exploded if we had driven on it properly!!

As we were leaving, there was nobody around so Simon parked up high on the banking for some photos. They must have some CCTV up there somewhere as it was only a couple of minutes before two guys came along in a golf buggy and made us leave the banking area completely (despite the fact that they parked us up there in the first place). One of them mentioned that they've had car clubs park on the banking before and one car has slid down the bank on the green wet slimey stuff straight into another car.... guess they're a bit Health & Safety worried. |

Well done to those who went for it, still looked like a good day. As expected, I spent the day bolted to the bog. Not good.
