cheers for those, glad you enjoyed, it really is Mecca for petrolheads.

was the rally stage any good this year, it can be a bit hit and miss, and any decent flyovers?? nothing more impressive than a large airliner on a serious bank!!

we'vve beena few times, going back next year I hope

TBH We never made it up the hill to the rally part. There was simply too many other things to look at.

I got a good deal in Jurys in Southampton. However theres nothing much in Southampton. Jurys was fine, but I think in future I'd stay somewhere else with a bit more life.

ya gotta camp - no point in hotelling it to be an hours drive away!!! Chichester is really lovely (in the dry)

that said one year (96!!) we had to put up our tent in a boat shed and then float it out into the camp grounds it was THAT wet...
