As the title says really. As long as the weather holds, anyone planning on going down?

First night down there with a mate last night. Within 5 seconds of arriving a GSXR was hit by a car after bumping down a kerb and lsing control, he was then catapulted into the kerb by the bike but was ok. five minutes later in the queue of traffic behind that crash a bike ploughs into the back of a van, and on the way home a policeman slowed us down as there was another crash with a car and a bike. Everyone seemed ok, but what a first impression!

Any fairly large gathering of bikes has its incidents and nutters,perhaps one of the reasons I try to avoid them,ways of the world.

Sounds like Mike, Sean and Seggons were there then.

View Seggons' video of a close up of a back of a transit van on YouTube now. Just search for 'Seggons rear ending a tranny'. All shot from his helmet cam.

I am genuinely suprised to hear of the accidents. I've been going to Great Bentley for years, and since the much needed crackdown on plain old ******** stupidity, there has been very little trouble at all. In fact I can't remember seeing anything more than a careless drop.

I'll be there again soon, now the beast works again

+1 never seen any incidents. Usually because the Oscar Bravo's are there.

Hopefully I'll be there next week

They were there. And when the guy came off they did nothing. Can't even recall seeing anyone in the van!

years ago it used to be wheeling and speeding up the road between the 2 greens, but didnt see any of that last year. hope to get at least 1 visit in this summer.

Haven't seen any of that in the times I've been there

If the weathers good, I'll be there this Wednesday
