Not too sure what you guys were expecting, but I think you're begining to realise what you've let yourselves in for!!!

If dry it will be VERY dusty

If wet it will be VERY muddy

Either way I wouldn't recommend white jeans (Tiny)

It is a field or rather two fields - one with a race track (a dirt track) one for the tents.

Anything more than that will be a bonus!!

This comes from someone who has been grasstracking on & off for 20+ years..!!!

Above all - IT's GONNA BE A BL00DY GOOD WEEKEND!!

Cheers Simon the Peterborough/Wittering Shell sounds fine & any route is better than using the Lincoln bypass.

A. Birchanger starting point for me

B. Meet/Loo stop Brampton Hut Interchange A1/A14 PE28 4NQ

D. Dusty/muddy field & no electric & not much grass DN21 3PE

E. Our B&B with 3 pubs, 2 restaurants & a romantic river walk

Must confess this was off the SDMSC site

I should censor that picture really. Don't want any rivals making pace notes.

Er along a bit - now right a bit - along a bit more - oops right a bit again

I did go just before I got my P1 for a bit of tuition but it was to the other bit of the airfield .

Yes Mark it`s very much a case of don`t forget to turn right not left. But having said that it`s get`s very interesting with 20+ other cars all trying to do it at the same time and someone always seems to want the space you are occupying LOL

Anybody who is coming up to this and would like to help out the organisers on the day. Either pm mechell or let me know and I`ll put your name forward.
You never know you could end up as an adjudicator and could swing it our way.
Not that we need that anyway.
