Thanks matey.... Of all the DH tracks i've seen, this one i could manage, but the entry fee is the best part of £100 so i've not. By the time we add in hotel, fuel etc we must be in the £350-400. The net result would be me finishing last or very close to last, so i didn't see a lot of value in that for myself.lostboy wrote: Mon Sep 06, 2021 1:01 pm It's definitely a sign of age but 5 years ago I'd have really fancied that course and now I'm looking at it and just thinking "good luck James!" and happy to wait for news!
Had a week near Oswestry, in the delightfully named Pant, at this time of year. Went prepared for the worst and the weather was scorchio. Had to go into Oswestry to buy shorts and T-shirts!weeksy wrote: Mon Sep 06, 2021 12:50 pm
Plan is to take 2 bikes, gazebo, chairs, table, food, drink etc.... Hopefully the weather will play ball, but it's Sept in Wales, so it may not
If you had more time I'd recommend a trip up to the old racecourse above Oswestry. It's v pleasant up there. (Nearly bought a house v close to it). Oswestry is a pretty good base for a few days as there's stuff to see like the aqueduct if you like that sort of thing and there must be plenty of riding to do in the area.weeksy wrote: Sat Sep 11, 2021 7:15 am Race weekend begins. After a night of laughs and banter in the Premier Inn, this morning brings us sunshine in Oswestry. The area is actually lovely, hilly, foresty, I'm amazed it's not more popular.
Mmmm he's a bit wonky and delicate but I'll be amazed if he's not out tomorrow.
