Shammy if I don't book for 4th April (that your already going to) will be booking this one. There is the advantage it is £20 cheaper.

Tickets confirmed, van sorted, accommodation booked, bike SHOULD be ready ... just waiting on some new 'paint' ... and off we go!

Returning for a second Oulton session! Hoping for better weather than previous.

Anyone else up for this??

I thought you bike was getting wrapped not painted.

Cracking day! Sunshine, dry, few reds but that’s kind of normal for Oulton.
Think I’ve finally got my line right on a bit I was shit at.
Now just need to accelerate more and brake later 😂

What a track?! Dry this time and so much more fun!

Fully booked day, the weather was good, not too many hold ups in novice group, so all good.

Thinking I was the fastest thing on 2 wheels only to watch my videos back and see that I have so much work to do!!

Gearing is spot on for most corners, but rolling off too early and not enough braking. Turning in too early and finding the outside of the corner exit too many times.

Walking the track first thing would have been a good idea in order to get some reference markers. I would appreciate some cones or such like to mark the turning in points and corner apexes.

Oh well roll on Cadwell.
