GS trophy competitors get automatic entry don't they?
GS Trophy is full that's what I meant
They said that there may be a few spare places 'on the day' if anyone dropped out/failed to show.....................or they took compassion on someone who could twirl a wheel off road

did you read final confirmation - no showers ..oohhh someones going to smell of hotpot after a couple of days
There are no pitches .. you just turn up take whatever space you fancy on the grass .. it's in the office park grounds, not much of facilities, just toilets last year and one burger stand. Sounds like it's going to be a little better this year.
Doing GS Trophy as well .. Group C, I am.

Tried to get showers, but let down last minute...so round the corner the local sports centre have said folks can use theirs..it's a pound though, sorry. On the upside, if you feel all aches and bruises, on Sunday opening 9:15am, they have a sauna for 3 quid, and the pool is open for a swim.
I think there's a short cut walk thro', I'll have a look today and get signs up if there is.
There's a proper camping ground nearby at the national caves, just that if you partake of a bevy or two, you'll need to ride there, so it may be easier to use our far more rustic field and set up there...and you don't need to book a plot, just turn up and you'll be given directions.

Hiya mate,
-- er, yes, I suspect Courvoisier-induced hangovers and the GS Trophy type stuff are a nasty combinationDunno about you, it will be bottles of Evian for me this weekend
Shame I can't meet up at midday, but looking like I'm gonna head down with Doc Savage in the evening, both of us are working in Preston until 17:45-ish, so will meet up then head down. Im at the Ashcroft Inn though, but will probably kick about round the camp site until later on then head back to the Inn. Not sure how far the Inn is from the site, its supposed to be close?
Looking forward to it!
The Ashgrove, or Ashcroft?...Torlief the Scandanavian host at the Ashgrove is quite insane and all the better for it...he's done some weird things in his life and is quite happy to tell you about them, just don't mention his chickens!
Also he has a book of welsh porn that he shows all "strangers"...it's just sheep...but it does get lonely in the valley.
Not far from the TT site at all. Near Walters arena (GS Trophy site) and the local monkey sanctuary bizarrely, you can hear the apes when the wind blows in the right direction.

Oh forgot...the local co-op have stocked up on water, wet wipes and other bits and bobs, that's an easy walk across the road from the camp area...also have a coffee shop for any 'campoocheeno' aficionados.
