    Three of us popped here today. It was ok and reasonably well supported, and John McG was playing too. His motor home dominated the paddock ! But it wasn't a bike friendly event when it came to access. There was a very dodgy 800 metres with feet down all the way (just in case) down hill damp grassy slope until you could park. And then leaving was across two fields following tractors tracks and then across a slurry covered farm yard ! Not good on a Fireblade ! Off road skills have improved though although I've never been so pleased to see Tarmac. I'd imagine someone would have had a low speed off today trying to get in or out :-(

    Was there myself bud, will put some pics up later

    Tbh, think you are being a bit dramatic regarding access , true it was across a field but the grass was relatively dry and there was hard standing in front of the hall.:)

    The Marshalls advised to leave the same way we came in so no dramas

    The access into the bash was a doddle compared with our route out ! You missed an impromptu off road riding skills course ! Trust me it was shocking. Tractor tracks, cow pats, pheasants by the two dozen all topped off by a farm yard covered in shite !

    That's probably why the very nice Marshalls were stopping bikes from going out via the exit when we were leaving then. He said to us seriously don't go that way guys, leave the way you came in . Was a great afternoon I thought.
