Hope ill be there Harry, but at the mo there seems to be a bad tummy bug on the rounds. And most of the family have it so ill have to see how the little girl is tomorrow a.m.

If i don't make it though i'm relying on fine photography to keep me posted ;D

looks like i am ballooning!!  so fingers crossed the winds are blowing over to accy!

HarryX · 26-10-2003, 17:30

So did ya go ballooning then?

Went to barrow.. didnt even get my camera out... buitfull clear sky with sun shining.. But you are closer to the track.. so its fence around waist hight... then gap then 20ft+ high wire mesh fence between you and track.... so all pictures would have that fence... and any wide angle would foucus on the fence.. waste of time taking pics

Website said 6 quid and 1,50 kids... got there and all signs changed with felt pen by look of it... 8 quid adults and 3 quid kids

No taking car into area

 No programme and you couldnt tell a word the tannoy man said...

Good racing and the three wheelrs are a laff... as soon as there on there side or upside down.. steward roll em over and they just carry on

But for everyhting else its a poor comparison to warton.. very poor

yes, went to ballooning - it was fantastic, ended up flying over preston way and then to charnock richard, landed just near to camelot. got some photos, but as i don't know preston very well I mainly concentrated on the views all around... amazing!

shame about barrow then, next sunday to the figure of eight?

HarryX · 26-10-2003, 18:10

figure 8 sounds good.. However at gravesend day before to watch accy...so depends... 6-7 hour journey each way

.. not planning on supping so should be OK if not knackered.. I aint driving.. ging on cach but still knackering..

How fars Buxton ?

Roy · 26-10-2003, 18:47

buxton is a bit south of manchester i think. Not to far, I think wingy is in germany or france or something and nastya goes back to moscow on friday - so i may well just be in the pub. don't know yet!!

HarryX · 26-10-2003, 18:58

Yeagh looks just south.. but can be decieving... bet its closer than barrow.. didnt realise it would take that long..

Going back to Moscow?  how long for?

HarryX · 27-10-2003, 14:16

Looks like Buxton is simm' to barrow in the viewing area.. This and many other pics show rail, gap then fence... Useless for taking pics and half the enjoyment for me is taking pics.. I wouldnt be able to get the camera out ..again

 So probably wont bother and just stick to Warton... 28th Dec
