I took a gamble on these date and booked the ferry a couple of months ago, PHEEWWW 8).

The've also got the British round of the LMES down for Donnington instead of Silverstone next year. Dosn't it always rain at Donnington?

Took the same gamble Bob, it's great when it works out ;D ;D.

Donnington is on the Bank Holiday Sunday, so rain is almost guaranteed. :(
The bike racers also reckon that you get a film of aviation fuel on the track from East Midlands airport. ;D ;D

So you'll be missing the Festival of Speed and some big football tournament final as well.

Booked my ferry yesterday....P & O Dover - Calais minibus based on 9 people....£70 return!! www.directferries.co.uk

Little tip for you, when filling in the online booking form if you are missing info such as vehicle type or peoples names you can just type "TBA" and let P & O know later on.

I did this last year and forgot to advise P&O and turned up with 2 Mr A.N. Other in the car. Straight through immigration, so much for port security
