I know mate, been watching some online vids of past years, I really hope it is dry, but I have my doubts
But there will be some nice stuff kicking around at least, to drool over.

Had a really good day and hardly a shower. Good to see Frankie and Kingfixer again and apologies for disappearing for a while.
Hill climbing is obviously a skill in its own right.I just trundled up the hill both times as it was wet the first time and damp and drizzling the 2nd time.
Good craic though and good atmosphere in a beautiful part of the UK.

It was a great day out, ditto it was good to catch up with you and Mick. Yeah the first time was an experience. Damp in the morning run, but then it dried out during lunch, track opens again and the heavens opened by the time I got my run in. I managed to film my second run and only took a few snaps, all will be posted in due course.
First things first a rest I am bushed, glad I did it, was really great fun... I would love to see what I could achieve on a dry track, you will see from the vid, I was spinning up the rear off the start and off the bends lol it was scary.

Next April.
I think if you went on a normal day, you would feel out of place as many take this very seriously. This day was juts a bit of fun.
I also think a sportsbike would be hard work up the hill. What do you reckon, Frankie?
The best bike without a doubt is a light single cylinder supermoto style bike.
