Cadwell Park

marshal_man · 22 Apr 2008, 08:34 (Ref:2183713)

Next month me and 2 other marshals will be travelling to Cadwell i just wanted peoples opinions on what it is like for camping, the racing, the facilities, etc. And most of all the Breakie :-)

I am going there for the 750 MC meeting

Joyce George · 22 Apr 2008, 09:15 (Ref:2183744)

Camping facilities are superb, unlimited hot water, showers, clean loos! (Bring your own sink plug!) Breakfast is standard circuit grub. Free tea/coffee/biccys at sign on courtesy of John Watson + family. The circuit is unique- just wait & see!!!!!!!!!!! I am certain you will enjoy yourself. BTW it is on top of the Lincolnshire wolds , so bring double the wam/waterproof clothes you think you may need; it can be bitterly cold.

Garry Holmes · 22 Apr 2008, 09:21 (Ref:2183748)

In a word - Rural, camping is usually behind the fence on the left hand side of the paddock road, you can turn off about half way down. Toilets and showers are close by in the paddock - upto the usual high MSV standards. Cadwell is a unique challenge, and parts are suprisingly quick.

and for saturday night tea Green Man Scamblesby 5mins down the hill.
good home cooking.

John Watson · 22 Apr 2008, 20:24 (Ref:2184360)

Joyce has said it all, several Marshals camp over, and there is always a warm welcome awaiting anyone who joins our happy band. I am sure you will enjoy your visit.
To get your adrenaline going, I have to inform you that some Marshals Posts are at least 12 inches from the action, (But completely safe I hasten to add), and some are at least 30 yards away. So it is all very "hands on".
I'm in early discussions with the Circuit Management with regards to doing something with regards to meals etc. in the Clubhouse on the Saturday nights when there is Saturday and Sunday racing taking place, irrespective of which Club is running the meeting.
Watch this space!

So what time do you call early?

Happy St George's Day

Mark Mitchell · 23 Apr 2008, 11:45 (Ref:2184799)

I've only been to CP once (I know, disgraceful!) but it's fantastic!
Very friendly folks, from the lass on the gate to the Sign on crew.
Stunning views from a lot of the Circuit and as John says, you're close to the action.

*Makes note to return there soon*

Stack · 23 Apr 2008, 15:35 (Ref:2184939)

With regard to the camping area. It is next to the helipad (don't worry it's seldom used unless the good Doctor is paying a "flying" visit)

Enter the circuit, follow the road down (90 left and 90 right) and go as far as you can (past the petrol pumps). turn left and go up past the toilet block on your right. Carry on and you will see the helipad. Just go onto the grass below it and pitch.

I'll be there around 8pm on Friday night (dark blue Focus) see you in the bar

Guinness2702 · 30 Apr 2008, 11:35 (Ref:2190979)

After enjoying myself at my first event at Mallory last weekend, I'm considering signing up for this one. However, I'm still new at this, and haven't quite got my act together yet (BMMC forms are in the post). Would anybody be able to babysit me, and possibly lend me some overalls for this, please.

Final instructions for 750MC Cadwell. As you can see, it is going to be a very busy weekend!

Stack · 30 Apr 2008, 12:39 (Ref:2191033)

Great line up!

Does anyone know if any of the chapionships are doing a BBQ on Saturday night like last year?

Garry Holmes · 30 Apr 2008, 13:52 (Ref:2191086)

Bit of a monster grid from the BMWs - well done chaps

No problem, come & introduce yourself at sign on & you can borrow a set of mine, providing you aren't very large!! We are very friendly at Cadwell, but see previous advice - bring double the warm/water proof clothes. Will gladly show you round the place!

Oh well!

Okay, actually, I'm not that large, but a bit tall, and only just managed to fit in lengthways to the ones I borrowed on Sunday.

Anyway, I've signed up, so I guess it's just a case of doing some scrounging when I get there is it

I will have some ViM overalls to borrow, some quite large.

We have a great bunch of baby Sitters at Cadwell Park including "Team Wilson", and I have a selection of V.I.M. supplied orange romper suits, so no excuses not to be there.
PM me with your details and the passes will be in the post by return.

Thanks. We had to buy another grid to fit them all on. Toyo Tires Racing Saloons will also have a full 28 car grid

Quagmire · 1 May 2008, 20:47 (Ref:2192140)

This meetings going to be my first vist to cadwell too (cant wait!!)

Just to let you know that i have 2 spare pair of XL overalls if anyone needs to borrow them.

Pete - if you have anyone who wants to borrow them at any future 750 meetings i'm at this year, give me a shout in advance and il'l bring them with me.

Carl

Dan Friel · 2 May 2008, 16:40 (Ref:2192680)

If you've never marshalled Cadwell before, you may well be needing one of those spare pair's yourself. I marshalled Hall Bends for a kart race once - never ever been so scared!

M Greenslade · 4 May 2008, 16:54 (Ref:2193853)

never ever been so scared!

I know I can still remember the smell!!!

Please be aware, Southern barmy army wil be descending on Louth Friday night, see you all there - Bladders.................
