Cheers.

AFAIK there is a separate feild for caravans and campers,....dont think there is any hook ups tho.Monty has taken his motorhome before,he could advise better than me.
Getting in will be ok,just expect a long wait getting out,....unless you leave halfway through the race.
Me,I intend to be there fri,sat and sun,...travelling over each day.Great ride across country for me. Its become a bit of a tradition for Marko,Seb and I to have a day off work on the friday.
Wont bother with the Day of Champs thing,...done it once,...never again.

Right, I think I've made up my mind. Will be there in a caravan setting up on Saturday and planning to have a BBQ dinner after the race while waiting for the worst of the exodus to be over. If anyone fancies a cold one before braving the roads after the race, feel free to stop buy. You won't be able to miss the grottiest caravan in the field attached to a blue Audi estate. It'll be proper gypsy stuff! LOL.

Last time I went - 2 years ago - it took me 5 hours to get out of Donny and back to Surrey and that was on a bike. Had similar problems going to BSB there. Never again.

I'm only going again this time, as I'm doing the Enduro Africa charity ride this november and they are meeting up there, so it will be interesting to see who else is going.
Besides it will be interesting to see if someone will pay more than £1900 for Rossi's baseball cap and £3000 for one of his Race lids as they did last year.
