Now at this point I have a video to put in here BUT it aint ready yet so you will have to wait till I sort it a bit later .
Anyway we have arrived we made it in 4 hours not bad 180 miles taking it steady + stopping for fuel and sarnies along the way ,, here we set ourselves up on the sunny bank of grass at the bottom of the mountain area .

Missing what? Motorcycle racing, that's what!
I know exactly how you feel, Nigel. I miss the racing too, after been active myself for forty years. Must be over 30 years since I was at Cadwell though.
Oh well, sacrifices we must make to live in Thailand.
