Makes sense to me. 60 miles North from M25 rather than 50 miles east from M25 (both from jct 10 A3)
Indeed, but I go up the A34 ... however them's are the numbers chaps!! :P

Oulton is a little closer than Cadders and an awesome track too ... not been there for years either ... who's game 4 this!?!?

As long as you like!

Seriously, it's much less dengerous than road riding and totally worth it. Not hard at all. Ride at your own pace and you'll learn loads. Well recommended.

You got wets now though right?

To be fair the forecast is light rain, if that's the case then wets will be of no use anyway!

If it does get damp, watch for Graham Hill bend (the 90 deg left hander after the hairpin) it can get pretty slippy there, especially where the left might be struggling for temperature.

Chances are that 'light showers' won't have much impact on the day, those sort of things tend to dry as quick as they come down with the bikes going round all the time and all

nope

still got bt-14's on my other set of wheels. if my mate's bike hadn't been nicked yesterday I might have borrowed her wheels with bt-20's on 'em

if it absolutely honks it down I might see if the tyre man has some wets, otherwise hopefully we'll get some dryish sessions - Brands does at least dry out a bit quicker than certain circuits I could mention...
