Is there a stand for this one or just arrive park up and enjoy??

There is a stand for us mate.. When you get to the gates and pay, mention your with the zone and one of the team will be waiting to give us our passed, then you'll be guided in to where we are parked...

On a different note, I spent all day polishing and cleaning the car... Its just starting pishing it down, about 6 foot of water already...

Post Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:09 pm

It has been nice all day... Started spitting a bit with a couple of clouds.. Managed to wash and wash the car, some other zoners came to get car parts, then the heavens openned for a good 30 minutes. Proper hammered it down too. So, give it some special shinny spray in the morning and be on my way.

Post Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:25 pm

If any one wants to Meet up @South mimms services(bp) at 8.am,with some other zoners,we'll set off down the M1.

Post Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:30 pm

I will be there to leave at 9 if you want to hang about for a bit.
Will go up the a1m and then the lower Luton road to join at j10 of the m1.

Post Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:50 pm

Don't forget silverstone is on as well so it will be busy on most major routes so leave early..

Post Sat Jul 09, 2011 11:17 pm

Oops, should have posted earlier...! I'll be heading up in the morning as i've got the kids this weekend and don't rate our campsite as child friendly

Sunday
A fine and sunny start but showers soon developing, becoming heavy and thundery in places, especially during the late morning and afternoon. Showers slowly dying away during the evening.
