Convoy into Croft BTCC 01/06/08 & Camping

[Empi5]

I'm bringing one, you did say "book" right?

Curry thought is in progress, just thinking about the right sort of hotness for everybody. Not too hot, but just spicey enough for all tastes.

Will be doing some Bombay potatoes as an extra plus a few bargees. DONT forget the BBQ n charcol sombody!

Seeing as its going to be a quiet one, can we all agree that genny might not be needed this time, or do I need to bring the lump anyway

Saturday morning chumps

Aboslutley ridiculous idea. of course we need the generator.... how else will i be able to charge my mobile phone !

Nope sorry, no organised parking for Croft. SEAT Sport tried as always, but no go sadly.

Ok, thanks for the reply anyway mate.

I think what we have decided Gareth, is Chris will get everything and we will just split the cost, hope thats ok.

I did the Vodka Jelly Babies at Thruxton, an interesting drink. Very tasty but it turned into a thick glue.

Skittle Vodka will be prepared tonight as well as Galaxy Vodka !

 

[Empi5]

Just a reminder:

The gates open at 8am Sunday morning,

That means we need to be there before 8.


So, if anyone is thinking of joining up with the convoy in, we need to be leaving NO later than 7.45am.

Look forward to seeing you there.

cool, cheers mate, i'll be down around 11ish i think, as got a 2 hour drive up and cant be arsed getting up to early

It rained last night up here and indeed as I look out it is quite cloudy and grey. Though it isn't dark. Yesterday was quite a scortcher though so I am hoping for a bit of inbetween.

Ideal conditions for me would be the sun, brightness and warmth but without the intensity of an arid heat of past years. Certain parts of the viewing places seem to be a suntrap in an area out of the reach of sea breezes and suceptible I would to very arid and dry heat in good summers. I went on Yahoo! Maps and to Redcar on the coast pretty much on a direct line to Croft village is 22.97 miles. Which doesn't seem much but does seem to be enough to be out of the reach of breezes that give a certain amount of freshess to the air.

I worry about the conditions greatly so I tend to take an active interest in things like I mentioned above.

Have a good time all and best behaviour on the campsite or it's ASBO time

Will be thinking of your hangovers as I set up on the sofa with some beers on Sunday.

See you at Snetterton?

Does that include me? It is just goind down with my old dad I am not a part of the SCN camping and parking talk so I am unsure as to whether I am a part of the forum.

We ought to be down about then too. Because I want to buy some stuff from the SEAT merchandise tent (if one exists as they didn't show last year and I am concerned their won't be one this year) and, confidence level pending, go to the pitlane and get a few autographs.

Does anyone have any tips on what I could say to a driver? I want to get not only Jase's and DT's but also Adam Jones as I am a fan of GR Asia.
