Well I've got the 11 days off for the price of 3 days leave in April thanks to the Bank Holidays


Same here but I'm off to Reykjavik.


Fishmarket (restaurant) was very good and liked Gul beer too :)


:yeahthat:

I'm also interested in doing Cadwell again.

Just realised that the Mrs is away so I'm 99% likely, I'll sort it by Monday. I've not done Cadwell before. How many Pampers will I need (or just one very big one)? :blink:

Good man. It's a great track and well worth the visit. Can't believe it's so cheap in comparison to the rest of the UK tracks either.

It's not the bad. Honest. I was just a bit too cocky on a drying track with stone cold R888's and a 911 indicating for me to go past. Pucker factor is definitely a bit higher through Hall Bends in the wet though. Still, on the bright side there's still loads more grip than Slipperystone in the wet.

That's a 10-4, looks like we have ourselves a Beds Convoy.

Cadwell is definitely my favourite track! Staying in the Beaumont this time to see what that's like... it's the closest to the track I think so means I can stay in bed longer! Should be interesting getting a day of tuition from Antony Dunn - shared with SteveA... I suspect I may push a little beyond my normal comfort zone and really can't wait!!! Might book for the 27th as well, as I also have the pleasure of a long holiday for the price of only 3 days allowance!

27th booked. May stay overnight but if not it'd be good to join you all in a convoy.

I'm up for a Cadwell session on the 27 April. I've not done a track day for a while, so it'll be a good wake up call..

Excellent - I'll be able to point and say "see this is where Steve went wrong, as this is his footage not mine!"

Is anyone going up the night before? I'll more than likely stay in a b & b. I've got bits to get done on my car before Cadwell. it still needs its first oil change after Vocky's rebuild...ah, brakes were low on the fronts too from memory, possibly new tyres too & finally, a good check over may be prudent! I may even get some R1R's on my spare wheels, just in case it's a tad wet...

New discs and pads fitted - check R1R's should turn up tomorrow for the spare wheels - check (fingers crossed) So, as I am missing Snetterton next week due to being so busy at work, me thinks it's time to get on track and not don't Cadwell. Need to check the calendar at work so here's hoping I can join the fun!!!

Very tempting but will have to check with the new wife as I am getting married a couple of weeks before :D She would probably like to do Cadwell anyway and show me how to drive :lol:
