Mike Kelly 1 · 6 Jul 2006, 20:03 (Ref:1649861)

Checked the weather on two different sites. Both say its going to be sunny on Sunday but they conflict on Saturdays weather. One says sunny and one says light showers.

Better pack the waterproofs then!!!

Mark Mitchell · 6 Jul 2006, 20:05 (Ref:1649863)

The BBC have just 16 degrees too!

Mike Kelly 1 · 6 Jul 2006, 20:08 (Ref:1649864)

Thats 1 degree cooler than it was this morning at 6.45!!! Oh bliss

That just proves how ruddy useless weather forecasting is!!! Forget TV and websites, just as Stump. Despite the weather (again) it was great fun. Didn't think the 1hr 2CV race was going to be up to much, but flagging that lot at Radar kept me entertained for the entire race. Never seen a 2CV wagging it's back end until yesterday...

Even the mod prods were fun, seeing that Starrion get it's back end out at every opportunity. Just need another 15 or so to make it worthwhile. And thanks to the guys in the med centre that gave me directions to the nearest pharmacy, it allowed me to shake off one almighty headache and enjoy some great racing on Sunday

Steve and Gruff · 10 Jul 2006, 10:05 (Ref:1652074)

I think Anglesey has it's very own weather system!

Glad to say that that my tent managed to survive the night, unlike some other poor souls. We did bend a few poles of the Gazebo (sp?) though whilst trying to take it down.

Still a very enjoyable weekend with some excellent racing.

Mike Kelly 1 · 10 Jul 2006, 16:02 (Ref:1652392)

My tent didn't even survive the night as the fly sheet was shredded by the wind by 8pm!!

The remains were quickly taken down and rolled into a ball and deposited in a bin! Luckily I hadn't laid out the sleeping bag. A quick phone call and myself and Paul Newns headed off to a hostel in Bangor where wet probans were dried and we sat in front of the TV drinking beer till well after midnight

Mark Mitchell · 10 Jul 2006, 16:13 (Ref:1652407)

Saturday was quite good although my back was giving me grief - old age creeping up faster than I cared to admit.
Was fed up of getting wet again and had to have travel inn heating on full blast all night to dry my probies and boots.

Sunday morning and me back was crippling me so much that I couldn't get up from the breakfast table (Or was that all the croissants?)
In Bangor it was still chucking it down and strom force 10 - so I decided to chicken out and took a steady drive back along the A55

PS - who's tent was it that was almost in tatters just behind post 1?
(There were three - it was the one in the middle)
Tried re-pegging it twice but fear some of it might have ended up somewhere near Dublin!

Mike Kelly 1 · 10 Jul 2006, 16:18 (Ref:1652410)

That was the remains of my blue tent behind post 1!

Mark Mitchell · 10 Jul 2006, 16:23 (Ref:1652412)

Mike, we did try to help but I guess we failed!
Glad you found somewhere to kip though.

Mike Kelly 1 · 10 Jul 2006, 16:25 (Ref:1652413)

Thanks for that Mark. I re-pegged it down at the end of racing with some of my ex army tent pegs. They all stayed in place but the wind shredded the fly sheet.

I held a one minutes silence for my tents demise today!!

Paul Newns · 10 Jul 2006, 16:43 (Ref:1652424)

Mike, I shall drink a beer in it's memory tonight.

Mark Mitchell · 10 Jul 2006, 18:04 (Ref:1652469)

Indeed - to the sad, premature end of what was, a lovely little tent!
Perhaps we could rename the corner of the Circuit where Mike's temporary shelter was ravaged by the elements...........Camp(ing) Corner?

wensleydale · 10 Jul 2006, 18:08 (Ref:1652472)

well they'll need some new corner names soon... you'll have to petition for one of them to be named in the tents memory

graeme · 10 Jul 2006, 18:29 (Ref:1652699)

There should be a Peel Bend on the new circuit - John Peel was stationed there for his national service (don't know if he like motor racing...)

Thanks all for staying out there in some awful weather this weekend - crackin' weekend's racing

Sadly, John Peel died a while ago!
