Leaving Friday 9th. Ferry - Newhaven /Dieppe Saturday morning. Arrive Sunday 11th, Blu Nord. Leave Monday after race, night in Dieppe and ferry Tuesday. Camping with the Liverpool and Norway contingent.  I think that's about right

New ideas for easy camping is disposable wooden cutlery and heavy duty paper plates. That will help the fire in the evening!

We've been doing that for years. 

And the ferry is booked (£40 dearer than last year Grrr) Out Saturday 10th for a leisurely drive down and back Tues 20th.

I hope they still have a bit banking at Arnage corner. Its the highlight of my viewing weekend on the Sunday morning just before dawn.

For me, Grillstock- Bristol at the beginning of July, Belfast in August for the weekend and as much sailing as I can squeeze in weather permitting.

ah well, indy has skrillex...

Quite like Skrillex 

Speaking as someone who has seen the Quo several times since the 70's I thought that they were a bit naff at Silverstone last year. Just going through the motions in my opinion with no banter at all.
Note perfect though.

So they should be after nearly 50 years
