What a cracking day and great company. Sunshine all day, 1st couple sessions there were couple slippery bits where track hidden in the shade. Bit of frost otherside of pit lane wall at 9am, tad on the chilly side but is November and wasn't too windy
I did 4 out the 6 sessions, missed the one before lunch (see below) power nap and food needed and missed last of day, starting to get cold and concentration going.
3rd session I didn't like, kept getting spooked by my own shadow and looking at stuff I shouldn't have been looking at....like marks going off track from previous offs and muddy marks on the grass, we all know don't want to be doing that!
Worth it.......YES!!!!!!
VERY pleased had the kettle, big thank you to Nick for helping me get the bike out the van in the morning and getting the garage
Bring on next years playtimes
Only bad bit of the day was me deciding I really wanted a Big Mac meal at Strensham services and they couldn't cook any food as something broke so had to settle for left over kettle chips as NOT spending £4.00 on a sandwich

Awesome last play of 2012!!!!!
learnt the meaning of '...there won't be as much grip when the track temp is this cold'. Squirmy slidy nearly hi-sidey but rode through it, thankfully, heading down to the old Hairpin...
Yep, great way to see the season out.
Also had the No McDonalds at services... Swettled for rip off bamgers and mash, though had my Big Mc, at cribs causeway after fuelling at asda.
Bring on next years play days and hopefully maybe a couple more ride outs before the end of 2012, if time allows.
See you all soon....
