Handy place for the aging to stash their teeth and glasses etc. at night, though - must buy the mother-in-law one for Christmas.

laugh.gif after the Lincolnshire meet on 14th June my back has been killing me ever since, the only comfortable position I can sit at the moment is as if I'm riding TRiXy, lol! shame I can't take my computer out to my bike and do my work there!!!

However, when we get back from the RTT I am only in work the following Monday and Tuesday and have the rest of the week off to take it easy in Clacton for another little break - I reckon I'm gonna need it laugh.gif

I will be heading down from N-Ireland on Sat Morning.

I had hoped to meet Geordie Guy, Matlock, Pict and Pete Kelly down in Dun Laoghire about 11am good.gif

It will take me 1 1/2 hours to get down there.

Roads close 9.30 but there's perimeter roads giving access. We arrived there about lunchtime at the last RTT and got parked up near the track.
