    you'll need to packa bit lighter than usuall as the stillages are a bit tight,you'll get everything you need on them,but a bit of carefull planning is needed,you'll struggle with a big tool box/bag.

    it helps a lot if you are sharing a stillage with a mate as you can load+pile everythijng on without worrying too much if the other person is going to get arsey that he has a bag on his bike etc..

    Do it, it's great to have three consecutive days on track to learn it and try different things. You will see a big improvent from your 1st to last sessions.

    Time may be a problem next year, as I have a lot to do.

    Moving house and job again, plus I need to make an honest woman out of the girlfriend for some reason ??

    Yeah tell me about it. I turned up with my rear tyre on the wear limit, my chain too loose/tight, can't remember which, and my brake lever was catching something at about 3/4 of the lever travel :eek: it wasn't til the second day some else noticed!
    I'm supposed to be a mechanic aswell :eek: not a very good one lol
