Hi,

I got the impression there was loads of space at whitlebury so if I have not got hold of the other place by at 15:30 I think I will book me & keith in there.

Shaun, are you and mike sharing a tent and do you want me to book for you?

Regards

Charlotte

Hi,

Barnstones is 25 miles from the track where as whitlbury is about 5 so unless its a lot cheaper why travel futher ?

Charlotte

Its 17.9 acording to autoroute using the post codes.
And there are 8-9 tents, and whitlbury has only space for 5.
I'm just giving other options. i'll go with the masses.

Hi,

Just to clear it up whitly have room for at least 5 tents but I did not ask about more but I got the impression it was more.

the distance - autoroute and multi-map have a difference of opinion - and with my sense of direction I would not know Very Happy

Regards

I don't fancy the idea of paying to sleep in a field 18 miles away when I can just turn up at the circuit and find a patch of spare grass somewhere for free Confused

I vote we "do a Snetterton".

Just had a call back, he has space and will put all together.
Cost depends on number of people in tent.
£5 if there is one person in the tent,
£6 is there is two, goes up like that. That is per tent per night.

(Ps There is a pub next dor.)

The "find bit of emtpy grass and camp for free" option sounds best, there'll be plently of empty bits of grass nearer than 18 miles to the track. Thumbs Up

I'll probebly end up sleeping in the car again, so I don't much care where it's parked, although close to the track would be a good thing from my point of view. Smile

I've been to Silverstone, there's not a great deal of empty grass from what I remember. It's all farms and farmers don't like people squatting on their land. Confused

Shaun · Likes 'em bent Joined: 17 May 2003 Karma :

Farmers have guns! Shocked

Dusty · King of the Rim Joined: 25 Mar 2003 Karma :

There must be a patch of ground around that no one would mind a few tents being pitched on. Confused

Not that I recall. It's all full of cows, they only clear them off for people to camp when the GP is on.

The grass in the picture that's doing the rounds is literally 'it'. There are like 9 tents and 3 cars with trailers to fit on there.

And no toilets.

Silverstone have an empty camping site outside the gates. Smile

Ok I have money, I need this to be as cheap as possiblt though, so far that place jay has found looks the cheapest, let me know what you think Charlotte and also what time you need me and Mike to be at yours. Thumbs Up

Bendy · Mrs Sensible Joined: 10 Jun 2002 Karma :

Right, I'm not bothered which campsite I go to, and nor is Korn cos he's going against his will so I'll pay his fees. Smile

Mrs Kickstart · Brolly Dolly Joined: 06 Apr 2004 Karma :

Hi,
Well personally being nearer would be better but we will go with the majority.

Shaun and Mike be hear at 6:00 !
bye
