I suggest that we leave very early like last year.... Batty and a mate of mine left 1 hour after us and were stuck in the queue for 2-3 hours!

Being an Ibis "virgin"........

Are there any good eats nearby? What's the bar like? When are people getting there?

More than happy to meet peeps at the 'Ibis' (oooohhhh) but is anyone going from Norfolk way? I know Fire fly is Norwich way and I've seen a couple of others are from round this way (land of carrot crunching tractor driving 'bors'). Would be cool to travel over with some others.

Due to working on the Saturday (leaving Plymouth late) and the fact the Ibis is full, Kevin (AP) and I will be staying at an alternative hotel. We will have to meet you there :thumbsup:

I agree with Derek though, get there as early as possible.......7am from the Ibis sounds good. I recall last year when we were first there......the place looked desolate but at least we were set up and done whilst others sat in a 2 hour queue to get in !

There are services wher you get off the M1 for silvestone - J15a. Last year we picked a couple of people up there at 7:30ish, IIRC.

If you want to meet the Ibis convoy there, just let us know!

So - The Ibis crowd will be leaving Wellingborough at 7:00am. We will then have a short stop at the services for J15a Southbound to collect any who are there. We will then continue on to S'stone (back lane fun like before?) so we can get set up before any other attendees alarm clocks go off!

Anybody not know what's going on? /help

The southern crew (i.e. Kev and I) will be going straight to S'Stone, however at the moment it is likely I won't get to go on track either. Kev lost my muffler that I bought for Combe a couple weeks back, and the new one he's ordered hasn't turned up ! No way I will pass the 98dB limit - I was at 96dB with the muffler in at Combe :embarasse
