Outside of the service roads and paddock its all green and brown, not much grey hard stuff. But it is on a hill so according to some of the guys camping there, it does drain quickly. If it doesn't rain on the day it shouldn't be too bad.
I'd suggest brining shoes you don't mind getting wet/muddy but I wouldn't expect it to be like the Somme.
Not long to go now. Weather forecasts are mixed but my phone is currently telling me it's gonna be sunny and warm, we can but hope!

Re: Retro Rides Gathering 2012 - 19th August
That's a shame Dave. If your piston option is older than early 90s and got a retro/modified feel to it, you can always come park on the stand with Ian and the other piston straggler! Otherwise you'll have to park with the 'moderns'.
Now I've not gotta be there in time to hand out stand passes, I'll be there between 8:30 and 9:00.
