Re: RAF Northolt Airfield Riding Day.
Just found out what the course is.....
Not the best in the world unfortunately, but better than nothing and its a left hander course. As far as I know its got 4 left handers and maybe a slight sweeping right hander. A bit boring I know but as I said, better than nothing. At least it gives people a chance to do the chicken strips on the left of the tyre. Anyway, have a great day all those who are attending and stay shiny side up. |

Re: RAF Northolt Airfield Riding Day.
Well thank you for flagging this Tony, that was a brilliant day.
Plenty of room on track, a lovely lunch time curry (with 2nds, and in some cases 3rds!) Pool table and tea while the waiting for the planes to finish using our start/finish straight. OK, so we spent a fair bit of time waiting about for aircraft, and those that did it last year reckoned that this year's circuit wasn't quite as good, but that was due to building works where the other circuit was. The day was a whole lot of fun put on by people who have volunteered to do it, for a very reasonable sum of money. Bargin, sign me up for next year! Jambo

Re: RAF Northolt Airfield Riding Day.
Yeah thanks Tony, another good day down there mate, and do please pass on my thanks to Nigel and co, for a sterling job to .
Here’s a bit of video, for those not there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11LCX_W2QLw And a few pic's (not the right lens and as those there will know only one spot which was a fair distance from the action, so the riding shots are heavily cropped, but it’s the best I could get I’m afaid ), not really my first concern of the day, but they'll do I suppose. Oh and just for fun, here’s the inforad for the last session, showed 127mph as top speed. Hope you enjoyed them. Cheers Mark

Re: RAF Northolt Airfield Riding Day.
would seem there was a problem for some viewing the pics, hopefully solved now, but just give me a shout if not.
Cheers Mark.
