Friday:
Herr Iddon and I set off from Edinburgh at 3am, and made good progress down the A1, arriving at North Weald before 9...Unfortunately the drunken miscreants that had set off a day earlier, were nowhere to be seen...When the finally arrived (in a dramatic fashion...


After a play on the sprint circuit, it was off to the Chunnel, which was uneventful enough...Unfortunately Robin & I was sited in with the buses / tall stuff on the train, which meant being accosted by gangs of London school kids...Apparently Robin has a "Sick" car, and they were most sad to hear that we didn't know Richard Hammond...


Blitzed through France, and reached the hotel where the LOT gang were, just in time for some beerage and bed...Shattered!
Saturday:
Early start, as Folembray was some 30-40 miles from the hotel...On arrival, it looked like a small oval, but it became apparent it had a really fast section up the hill, round the back...It was really really good fun, with a challenging downhill chichane, taken at 70-80mph...Absolute blast, and the SE boys were the quickest out there, as usual...

The track is defintely worth a repeat visit - It's fast (Scotty / Craig / Ali / Andy were hitting 120mph at two points on it), picturesque (lined with trees), and very laid back...
Blatted to the next hotel afterwards, for much beerage - The Scotty / Andy / Ali / Walshy table managed to rack up 43 pints in a few hours, before heading into town for more...

There were several incident involving gaffa tape, and male nudity, but I'll leave that up to the others...

Sunday:
Abbeville - Right next to the hotel, so a late start...Amusing track - Really twisty, with not much to hit...Nowhere near as fast as Folembray (Just grabbing 4th for a second on the straight), but fun for the morning...
Robin's car had cried enough, and with a knackered wheel bearing / no brakes left, we set off early for the Chunnel...Ended up staying at Kelvin's last night, and Robin took off this morning for Eliseparts / Steve Gugliemi's to make repairs on the car, skipping Snetterton in order to have a working car for OP...

It's been a blast so far, as I said, and just wish I could have stayed till the end...Work calls!

Cheers!
Ross.
