On Arrival

Newcomers are best advised to make their way to the Marshals Pound, there's always a bunch of regulars in various stages of inebriation around to help. | Added by b1ackcr0w 06/06/2003 16:51

Signing On
|
As you enter the venue you have a choice of directions..... bear Left and you can cross the Startline or enter the Paddock, bear Right takes you past the motorhomes and towards the Marshals Pound. Follow the dirt track which is parallel to the race track. Just after the pedestrian bridge is the location of the Marshal's Pound, a fenced off area for marshals and invited guests. Someone will always be there from around 5pm on any Friday before a meeting. | Added by crazystu 30/06/2003 17:53

Lunch / Circuit Customs

Return road allows for later starts in the morning. For £1, Prescott marshals club will ward you a pie for dinner. Be sure to take your breaks quickly as the return road means there is usually a constant flow of cars up the hill | Added by b1ackcr0w 06/06/2003 16:58

Camping

Best to pitch as near to Marshals pount as possible. Be careful not to block access routes for officials etc - if in doubt ask a regular.
Best to bring your own water supplies when camping! | Added by b1ackcr0w 06/06/2003 16:53
