We're down at Silvestone from Thursday 17th to Monday 21st, camping on Whittlebury Park Golf Club.
Just wondering who else is going.

When I say 'camping' i'm just trying to sound brave

I tend to camp thursday night, then the bloody great big motorhome comes down of friday night along with the rest of the guys

I will be terorising the whole of silverstone on my GoPed. We tried to get our bikes in last year, and managed to blag it with the help of the TopGear secirity guys, but then had to leave them on the circuit overnight, meaning we had to walk once out of the gates

So this year we've all got gopeds

I'm there on the Friday as I can get in for free with my Octagon pass. Me and the Wife will be around for the day, then off the Cheltenham for a few days R&R.

I won't say I'll see you there as I expect it'll be busy, but you never know......

The problem with Bikes is the pedestrian access to the circuit; I was referring to around and about the actual circuit, not the carparks.

you need a vehicular pass to get the bikes in to the circuit and you have to go in through a vehicle access point, rather than the pedestrian access from Whittlebury, which we use.

Sorry, just re-read your post. I was talking about a couple of R1s and a moped, not push-bikes.

Just spoke to an old codger this morning who was complaining that the BDRC send him tickets every year but he never bothers to go.

I kindly offered to take them off his hands to save them going to waste
