ELMS / WEC Weekend in Silverstone, April 19 + 20

[Brad Zarse]

Just two keys between the F and the S on your keyboard, eh Lofty??

[spoonies]

I notice that on the Silverstone website only Whittlebury is shown as being available - no Woodlands or Litchlake. I don't mind Whittlebury but the walk to the circuit through the wood is no longer available and the transport alternative is a bit of a palaver.ote]

I've found out today that this is not correct. Please see message copied from email received.
, I am sorry that you have heard this untrue rumour, I would appreciate it if you could let me know

where you  have heard this from so that we can put a stop to it.

 

The walkway into the Circuit from the campsite is open as usual as this is also a public right of way and this takes you into Copse corner.

We will also be running a shuttle in the morning and again late afternoon that will take you to gate 9 which is Beckets corner.

 

We look forward to seeing you soon.

 

Kind regards

Dont know who I'm replying to but I was at the wec event last year and the gates through the woods were locked.

Hi Steve
I think we met a few years ago at the same meeting. It was the year Debs (termie) had the trouble with her keys. I'm the hopeless git who was up the slope with the cobra replica that had no traction on the grass.
Were the gates shut last year due to wet weather and some misguided health and safety concerns?
Through a friend it appears that I am now Whittlebury's most wanted, as my good lady asked them to confirm over the phone that there was a problem with access on foot. They confirmed this and said that a shuttle was in operation. Then today, the written response I have posted was sent to a friend who has booked already, apparently correcting the previous information.
In the light of what they sent today I thought it was only fair to ensure a correction was put up.
Apparently the path through the woods is a public footpath/bridleway which must be open.
I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing you there.
Colin.

Who on earth could have given Termie problems with her keys??

Needless to say " You are going nowhere near my keys when we go to Spa"

Brad,
It was 2011 when Deb managed to lock both sets of her car keys in her car & had to get someone to break a side window to retrieve them.

Colin,
Yes, you did meet Lord Steve & me that year.

That's good. I never fully trust my memory!
Will you be there this year? We've now booked Whittlebury following their comments.

Brad,

. And it was 2012 when Brad was called home and still had Deb's keys in his pocket.

[Lord Steve]

Right, I'm up to speed now. If I'm right, the path through the woods IS open. However, I have a doubt whether I can make the event now. Bugger!

Bless her - there was something about that race and her keys!

[Dirk3D_NL]

i might pop in on the saturday night-sunday morning, who is still going?

[Barry]

Even if it's snowing I'm going, but Sunday only.
SWMBO has invited her entire family round for Easter Sunday.
Hope they have buggered off before I get home. 

[Ade]

I can't make it this year , work to do at home.

[Brad Zarse]

I'll be there, with child, and the old man.....

I believe BobU is coming, as well as potential appearances from Andy Zarse (come on mate - the littlun would love it!), JDS and the above mentioned - Jason is, I believe, dressing up as a marshall and trying to con his way onto the pit lane exit, again..... 

There will be no camping from me.....

Bring waterproofs - much potential for rain!!
