Portimao

[Red5]

Mate why look for the hotel it'll just be somewhere to sleep and eat breakfast. When we went we ate out every night. If it is still the same place it's across the road from the beach and about a 20 min drive to the circuit each day.

haha...Not looking to change, just want to show the boss and curious

[Bullet]

I did find out the exact hotel and let bed Flanders know and I think out esteemed mr no mates

Just out of curiosity how many are actually going now?
Can't be arsed to scroll back on my iPhone and check lol
I assume most of us are going on same flights In the morning via easy jet ( book if you haven't already!) we could all have dinner or something Thursday evening?

yep, that's the one... been in touch with No limits. Looks great.
Flights wise, I've booked myself and Louise on the late morning, 1030 I think it is easy jet, Bristol to Faro on the Thurs, then return Sunday evening.
No guarantees just yet but depending on vehicles, I will look into car parking at Bristol, as the company I work for have our helicopters based there, should be able to wangle at least one space for the weekend.
Or look at prices for Airport taxi's to Bristol from say, Teignmouth or Exeter as a central point, which ever works better for most...
Just ideas as very excited about this

[MacGyver]

I've got one spare car parking space in Bristol city centre if you want it Red5. It's about a 15 minute walk then to the airport shuttle bus which I'll be taking.

Thanks repiV will see what the group going are doing. great to know the offer's there though.

Have just been watching you tube on board footage of Portimao. I'm mildly excited, yeah ok, I've pretty much wet my self but I can't let everybody know..

[Red5]

Find out on Wed if I'll be signed off as fully fit... then they'll let me have insurance for this. Better be ok, or it's going to be an expensive non event

2 1/2 months basically. getting excited!!!!

Hi eveyone, I'm booked on this one now and as i've been before i can honestly say the hotel is the best that No Limits use on all of their trips.
you will have to walk at least 50 yards to get onto the beach though.
for those of you that can afford the time,it's a trip where it's worth while having an extra day out there.

oh yes, and i think there is a track nearby as well !!

[billinom8s]

a ttttrack !!!!


i was going for the rolling ocean and quiet times. i don't want a gaggle of noisy bikers spoiling our trip away

[Smiler]

Yay! Nice one Dave, you gonna show us round?

[wavydave13]

I'll try !!

[Mr Moo]

So I paid my deposit this a.m. #gulp! Going to book the flight this evening. is everyone going as a gang or we making our separate ways?

[Mr Moo]

So, looking at flights.... Bloody prices have shot through the roof!!! #grrr

Anywho, what flights are peeps booked on? taxi/minibus to aeroporto or making ya own way??

Edit:
Flights booked!

I currently run a Sport Touring trye on the Ninja mainly due to doing a fair amount of upright miles.
If I fit some new tryes for the portimao wkend will it be worth going for a more 'focused' tyre??
Say BT16's or their equivalent or even a bit more...say S20's since there doesn't seem to be much difference in prince-ish!
