First time at Olivers Mount (camping/where to watch from etc.) - SV650.org

Paul the 6th · 30-07-12, 11:04 AM

Just booked to go to the gold cup for the weekend in september after randomly sharing a pub table with Ryan Farquhart's mechanic at the weekend. Me, RobH539, Neil Hopper (the mechanic) and his missus Angie were chatting for about half an hour and they told us to come along "we'll have a few beers with you if you pop by the pitlane" = epic.

So have just booked tickets for the weekend's camping and racing inc. pit lane passes. Just wondering if there's a particular spot we should aim to get the tent pitched at (quiet end/noisy end/bit near the toilets etc.) and where's best to watch/photograph from on the track..

As always, thanks in advance

the campsite is at the top of the hill Paul, so take your pick, either near bogs or beer tent really, nothing far away so no biggy.

Cheers Mark.

Have a bimble up there, Paul - circuit is a public road ( 30 limit ) - also it's small enough to do a few laps of the viewing areas on the day.
