Mallory is a good idea Paul. Very "central" too.
I agree with the cost aspect. If there had been camping at Brands I might have considered it, but even with the reduction in price once you add in travelling and an overnight stay in a hotel it's a £200 day out.
That said ... my aim for next year is to try some other cicuits. I got to know Cadwell very well this year, with 7 out of 8 track days there. Love the place, seems like home now! I reckon that by becoming familiar with a circuit I then could concentrate on understanding my riding ability (or lack of) and the bike's capabilities. Time now to go and apply it to other circuits.
The only one I am not keen to do is Snetterton - didn't like the circuit and also spent some time on my a**se there!
Oh, and I shall make sure I get to Oulton Park if there is an organised event there (provided I am not away on holiday or something like that).
