If was closer I’d love to do it, but when Cadwell is 40 minutes away the decision is made for me

Hi, Paul.

Sorry, it's a bit too far for me too, although saying that, I am on Grandaddy Day Care duties that day.

I'm racing there end of June and haven't ridden there before so yup, I'm potentially up for that- would also give me another chance to test the wet-bike Bandit out too, assuming of course that I've managed to get it running right by then , or not chucked it in a river/ set fire to it before, which is probably more likely....šŸ™„

Will look at commitments over next day or so a nd let you know šŸ‘

I'm on for this- am also going to book Snett for the Monday before (28/4) , I am racing there 2nd weekend in May and I haven't ridden there since 1988, and I gather it's changed a little since then so I think I need to familiarise myself with it! :D

Not sure if my bike will be back from Portimao in time, must be 4+ years since I've ridden Ty Croes, about time I got back there ( I did live on the island for 3 years and love it there).

Dodgy & I are now both booked in there and staying in a place just down the road , so will have a few beers and a proper catch-up the night before.
It looks a fun circuit (when the weather is being kind :D )- am looking forward to it :thumbup:

It's beautiful when the sun shines, but as you probably already know it's very grippy in the wet, so it's a great day on track whatever the weather.
Enjoy.

Dang. That's just before I set off for portimao. Love Anglesey. Great circuit, awesome scenery and it's a fine road trip through walesland to get there & back.

Ah that's a shame James- hope the Portimao journey and TDs go well - that's a proper trip you do! :thumbup:

And @Dodgy69 - I've just noticed what's on there on the two days immediately following our TD, should make it more interesting than the average TD :D
Well, either that or just mean there's lots of red flags for broken down bikes :think: (but hopefully not too much dropped oil! )

Having a beer at the Holland Arms, interesting place, I'll leave it at that. Tricky landing soon. Food, beer, no football, was hoping they'd have Utd match on. R well...

Some nice scenery on the way up, on A5. Beautiful weather, couldn't ask for more, well maybe a better room. Only £45 cash though.

You've heard of TripAdvisor?

Lots of very very bad reviews

Bar's good, food was nice enough, steak pie n chips £10.
Stella 4.60.

Man rooms only, ladies wouldn't like. No ensuite, just a sink. šŸ‘

Was a top day with the Dodgy one on his MT 8-)



What an absolutely brilliant circuit Anglesey is, has a bit of everything and although I know I've still work to do in a few places to be on the pace when I go back there end of next month, I've got a good bit of it sussed and love it , particularly the section from the banked loop to the tight uphill left-hander.

The good news for me was that my "new" Bandit (or "Trigger's Broom" as I've come to know it... :hmmm: ) performed faultlessly for complete sessions,
which is a real result as it's not managed more than 2 or 3 laps before now, due to multiple reasons...

The not quite so good news is that it caused me to have my first on-track lie-down in 4 or 5 years , but bike damage is minimal, no damage to me other than a friction burn on my arse, and I know my airbag suit works now :D

But most importantly for me, I know why I crashed and will be sorting that this week so it doesn't happen again, well, on this bike anyway! šŸ¤ž

Oh and P.S. - the hotel was fine for what we needed it for, and bearing in mind what we paid, was fair value- I would use it again if just me staying there and it was one night, but a definite no-no beyond those parameters :)
