Did 2 of these last year, exceptional value and very well run - even have a food tent with home made pies etc. There were a number of very knowledgable instructors who gave advice on suspension set up and there is usualy a trackside photographer to catch those glory moments.

I would like to do this as its 5 minutes up the road...but I do have concerns over the state of the 'track'.

My understanding is its a coned track around the runway etc...so the course may be a little simple and rough?

Can anyone who's done one verify or deny this?

I have been meaning to do this for the last 2 years maybe I will get around to it this year especially as it is just up the road.

Harv as Godders went back after the first time its probably not that bad, just turn your DR into a Supermoto

I've done two of these days at Wittering, and whilst they do use part of the runway they also use peri tracks and hardstanding to create a track. They use tyres not cones and I have to say, the Wittering course was anything but easy!

Don't knock it till you've tried it i say, and at sixty quid it's worth a try!
