Every forecast for Sat points to heavy showers in the morning if the douches get it right for a change then hopefully it'll dry out quick

Why couldnt it have been today!

"BBC Weather - Weekend
Plenty of dry weather throughout but there will be a few showers during the weekend, more so on Sunday. Feeling colder, with overnight frosts. Lighter winds."

Looking forward to it nonetheless What time are people planning on getting there for?

Good to see new and old faces yesterday, shame about the rain but it got better throughout the day.

I had a slight mishap on the last lap of the first session, over Hill Top coming into the right hander at the Knickerbrook chicane... too much front brake in very wet conditions, my fault completely Bike was fine (slider took all the impact and is ground down nicely now) and I just slid on my bum/left side for a bit taking in the view. Waterproofs shreded but not so much as a scuff on my leathers. Picked it up, rode it back, then got checked at the medical centre and did all the remaining sessions (except the last as had to get off) without issue - albeit at a rather slow pace.

Wasn't the first or only person to come off, there were a more than I could count and some quite bad ones!

Now when's the next weekend date

You probably had the nicest dismount of the day mate like you said I think it was an R6 that had gone down, saw it in the garages afterwards there wasnt much left!

Nice to see the warning over the tannoy that 5 people binning it in 1.5 sessions was totally unacceptable was heeded a guy in the inters wheelied the entire length of the start/finish straight, brought it down too late, ran straight on at the 1st corner and crashed into the barrier

Chris i'm looking at maybe doing Anglesey, Sat 9th April with No Limits again. £99 if you're interested
