Just let us know when you have your guests sorted & dates so we can book in at Premier Inn or Travelodge. We bow to your needs! Guests may not be required fingers crossed! If no room at the inn with the suggestions given by THJ; there is a great big oval shaped concrete structure behind Tesco with plenty of room, even comes with large air cushioned blanket and check in usually starts around 6/6.30pm Safe travels, and may the best team win 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that the A66 is closed in its entirety between Penrith and Brough at the weekends. And if you add to that the fact that Junction 40 of the M6, where the A66 from Scotch Corner meets it at Penrith, is completely closed after 10pm each night, then you have big big problem in getting home from, or getting TO Scunthorpe ! It seems that the advisory diversion during the day is via M62/M61/M6/A66. But after 10pm at night, you cant access the A66 from the M6 junction 40 ! It might well be advisable to check the highways authorities for the exact situation, but these sites arent always reliable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theirs a diversion on side roads from just past Appleby for locals to use, if jct 40 closed use jct 41 and travel via greystoke to A66, easy peasy if you know wagon drivers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is exactly the same year after year fans ask riders if they are coming back. What do you expect them to say? Sorry, I've had better offers to go elsewhere!

Think my point was that Wells is far happier on the superslick gate and go tracks (he got a right flier at Peterborough in the last heat on Saturday, should have been brought back) rather than Scunny's racer track.

Edinburgh is hardly slick.... To be fair you don't get to an 8plus average just liking slick tracks... Wells is a good rider.. Very professional to Alot could learn alot from him actually 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
