Post by: gt6 on May 29, 2011, 10:53:51 am: been going there for 5 or 6 years, it is now a part of the event, however one word of warning, as it gets more popular the chaos on friday afternoon of cars trying to get in and others out gets worse, best get there early

Title: Re: The Great British Welcome 2011
Post by: Andy on May 30, 2011, 04:44:48 pm: Supurb parking for bikes, right on the entrance, pole position entry and exit.

Post by: garyfrogeye on June 01, 2011, 01:01:53 am: I intend to be there in the Frogeye (red with white roundels if you happen to see it/me say hello). I usually have Canada Phil as my passenger. I don't imagine that it will be any different again this year.
