..... Anyone thinking of going to Cadwell on Monday for the BSB?
Weather permitting, I think I'm up for it ..... but will be better if I'm not the sad guy with no mates

Excellent !
My middle son, Ben, will be working on the carpark at Cadwell - assuming he survives his 3 day stint at York races ... apparently the horsey types are an awful bunch - quite abusive as they think they own the world. When he texted last night to report he'd managed to get the tent up, he also mentioned that 3 times they had tried to run him over yesterday for holding back people who'd pushed in. Last time he was there, the punters were chucking bottles at them!
Think he's looking forward to the better crowd at Carwell (the only people that gave them any hassle at Oulton Park BSB were the car drivers).
Anyway, he'll be travelling up in a mini bus at about 4:30 am .... once I've dropped him off I'll get some more sleep before setting off on the Falco.
Sounds like a small flock of Falcos is gathering ...

My favourite place to stand is on the bank at the Mountain. From there you can see the start/finish, first bend (Coppice) and up the hill into Charlies, then you catch them over the mountain and into Hall bends.
I'll keep an eye out for you Andy (still got your mobile number from the last trip)

Sounds good to me - can see a lot of the track and a good view of Charlies
Yep - I'm still on the same mobile number - I must have your number too so we should be able to find each other.

looking good - just as a thought - are people planning to get there for a certain time -0 as in those travelling on the day?
if so, is there a meet point close by so we could meet up for a coffee before we head in?
am sad to say that my leggy friend jane will not be with me, but am possibly bringing a newly passed biker asa pillion... and no, Joe is just a friend before i get similar questions as i had about Jane :)

No I haven't got it. Hopefully Dee will be with me but only on the back of me. Last time I was at Cadwell trashed my bike.
