If you intend going to the Classic end of the month, the campsite opposite the main gate will be open with full amenities.

Trouble is, it only opens for the GP and the Classic. Maybe a word in the ear of the farmer might be in order for CA if no infield available. As it's a bit of a hike from Whittlebury Park.

If you mean Lichlake farm campsite it leaves a lot to be desired. I camped there a couple of times for the GP and all that full amenities meant then was that the bogs were full. The last time was the year that His Bernieness moved the GP forward to something daft like April. It had pissed down all week and the owner didn't even bother to cut the grass beforehand so that even when it wasn't raining you still got soaked due to the water in the long grass. If he treats his punters like that for the GP weekend God only knows what it would be like for a lesser meeting

Hi Rick,

Yes to Classic,
Yes to LMS
BIG NO TO GP, it's over priced and mostly corporate.
Even though my local team MacClaren and the brilliant Hanilton will be there.  Just ain't worth it anymore. Particularly when considering Spa at half the cost and you get ferry rides and a whole week!
At my age, it takes me all night to do what I used to do all night!!!!!!!!!!!

(Thanks for diving in Mr Catchpole!) :)

As well as many nice classic cars, my old weary, strained baby Lara will be gently huffing to her self in the Midget and Sprite club area. Pop round for a chat wont you.

We'll be on the 'farm' opposite main entrance. Been there before, when camping its rough anyway.

Hope to see you there Andy, I'll look around infield for your lot.

Got weekend tickets for the Classic so will probably be there Saturday and Sunday. Very much looking forward to the Group C races and the Saturday evening World Sportscar Masters race. Hopefully the weather will have cheered up by then... ::)

Yep, the Weather!

Judging by the 'experts' (who can't get it right anyway). We are experiencing a thing called ' El Ninio' at the mo. As opposed the the normal ' El Minio' (or the abouts on spelling).

This apparently is a weather system that is 'stuck' in the Pacific and is altering the paterns so that the highs are missing us!

sh*t, this thing is 8000 miles away.

Or, is this a Micheal Fish thing?
