Are you going, cat-impersonating person?

No, not this time. Went to the very first ones. Great fun, but Manchester is a long, long drive there & back to rural Norfolk.

Can't you buy over the net now? They just hold them at the door for you. Left hand window.

Maybe I can, maybe I will. I didn't think of that .


I've just spoken to somebody else and they are taking interweb bookings up until 10am tomorrow.

See ya there then. I'll be under the scoreboard, eating chips, no doubt!

 

[Dave5N]

Right. Off oop north now. See you there!

I'm only 15 mins away from it....

Last time my club organised a trip to it, but given that it isn't yet term time, I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't going this time. I haven't had an email about it, or indeed whether there is even a MURT club run tomorrow (my guess is that there isn't: undergrads have exams).

 

[longers]

That was pretty good . I'll go again.

 

[Dave5N]

Where were you longers? For all I know you were standing next to me.

A great evening's entertainment and only six quid to get in!

Great to see a world -class ride from the reigning world champion!

 

[longers]

Sat down, Dave opposite where the riders entered and exited the inner area. If you saw a family trying to start a Mexican wave, I was immediately behind them.

Did you stand under the scoreboard eating chips?

 

[Dave5N]

You saw me then?

 

[fossyant]

Longers - we were in the same area - just opposite the riders trak entry/exit points - had a small boy (7) and girl (4) with us - we were on the end of the second row, near entry 3, right by the track.

Enjoyed the racing

Some pics below - big grainy as I was using ISO 400 and a 1/500th shutter - no expert - still learning to use the camera....

Nice photos fossyant, the guy with the grey beard in the last photo looks really interested!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[longers]

Cracking photo's Fossyant . I forgot my camera . I only realised when I stopped to take shots of the B of the Bang.

We were very close then I must have been sat only a few rows behind you.

 

[fossyant]

Good job you didn't get too close to the 'B' - notice the fencing.....the spikes keep falling off !
