Brands Hatch - full GP circuit - Monday 13th August - Page 7 - SV650.org

With the already mentioned incident to one side, I had a fantastic day.

This might be my new favorite track. I thought the 15 minute sessions worked out fine, long enough to get up to pace but not so long you got too tired. The final inters session started out wet but dried up quite quickly, and I've always found Brands pretty good, grip-wise in the wet.

Thanks to everyone that turned up, it was a lovely day out.

I've been thinking of taking up photography, so when Jambo said he would let me use his camera I accepted.

I have the use of Canon 350D, but have been thinking of getting my own 450D, which Jambo knew about, so I was expecting that.

Not the 7D that he produces - so these pictures are as much to do with the kit as my ability - the 1st two were the 4th and 5th shots of the day

.

For those who it would matter to, the Lens was a Tamron 75-300

Heres the pics, click for the half-sized ones (and if you do click, if you change the "half" to "full" in the URL you can get the original sized ones

I can't wait to see some of Sid Squid's photos of Raf, he looked seriously cool out there!

I've written up my exploits of the last few days, if anyone's bored enough to read it.

Slightly wet and *very* slippery session: http://youtu.be/3Szqw1PV6xM

Shame about the wet, we had a scorcher the following day albeit only the indy circuit!

I couldn't really complain, I'd had 13 scorching hot sessions over two days at Cadwell Park a couple of days before.
