with no limits search for Johnny or Lawsey - both instructors - they will be friendly and helpful. Try to get their help on your first session, as they will show you the right lines that you can practice during your day.
No limits is good..

err.......Aug 1st isnt a bank hol!
There is just the one in England in August - on the last Mon of that month.

Deej - if its any help, we are less than an hour (or lots more if M25 is horrid) from Brands.
Close to M3 jct 3, or A3 - should you need a bed for the night going one way or the other.

Dont know where in Cornwall you are, but it usually takes us 3 & a half hours (at speed limts) to hit the border - via the A303/M5/North Devon link/Atlantic Highway to Bude.

Having got the TD bug at RAF Benson, I'm thinking about doing Brands before TA5..... This could be it.

[deej]

ah bugger

its a bank holiday in scotland on the 1st. looks like it could be silverstone gp on the 29th which is definetly a bank holiday and also a bit easier for me to get to and fro...


.... anyone else fancy it ???

if it comes to taking time off work to do what days do you guys have booked up so far, if you dont mind me tagging along that is

[WeeJohnyB]

I will be at Brands on August 1st with No Limits. It's a day AND evening session, so why not do both??? If you're going, come along for a a free cuppa tea and a chat, (please bring biccies) and we can get you some instruction early on. Book soon - there are spaces at the moment, but it will no doubt be full.

1 space in the inters will be booked tomorrow wjb... I'd like to bag some instruction from your good self early on if poss, if you think you can keep up!

Not evening session for me tho... got to get up to donny.

[WeeJohnyB]

er, Nick, should be interesting, having followed you at Cadwell last year I think it was, I know I was a bit quicker, but I reckon you'll have gained a few seconds with your race experience, should be about the same now, (if my confidence is back by then)....shall I take the 600RR or the CB5, not a whole lot of difference in my laptimes, but the CB5 would be a lot closer to your power, assuming you're on the DD bike - my CB5 has 49.5bhp, how big is yours darling

[NBs996]

Sound like the race is on then... I'll have a fiver on JohnyB!!

No chappie, I'm not there to go fast, I'm there to potter round and learn the lines one corner at a time (if that's the right approach). I'll be on the monnie so you can keep the cbr wrapped up!

Who else is going on this one? Deej, are you avin' a day off work or chosing another date?
