F1 Fanatic

@Paul I can only comment on Woodlands as it’s the only site I have stayed in. I love it there! the entertainment is in a massive Big Top Tent with Films on earlier on the Thursday/Friday then going onto bands and DJ’s until around 1am….last year Eddie Jordan played with the band which was great. You can take you chairs and own beer to the tent which is great. Around the Big Top are around 5/6 vans selling food, everything from Burgers &Chips to fish, pies etc. Just round the corner is the Pub (more of a barn) you can only drink purchased drinks here but it was only £3/£3.50 per pint which I thought was ok, they also have entertainment on here some nights.

Last year new shower blocks were built and to be fair I never spent long waiting for the toilets/showers but that’s because I went late/early.

The complain I suppose most people will make about this campsite is the size and number of people, but that’s what I loved about it…..so what if I had to wait in line at the bar (never more than a few minutes)

The camp site is so big, that I’m sure it would take ages to walk to the main entrance from the back, but there is a tractor that does the rounds. I arrived on the Wed night and was around 7/8 minutes walk from the gate near stowe.

Right I’m all booked and paid, just mananged to get one of the last tickets for Club with camping at Woodlands lively, yay! see you all there :-)

Paul – Windmill is good for Becketts too.

I like the idea of camping @ Windmill for it’s proximity to Becketts but they don’t take bookings and due to our childcare we can’t get there until 7-8pm on the Friday night so I guess it’ll be rammed by then

Excuse the ignorance but is there a site you can actually reserve a 3-night pitch rather than being left with what ever’s not occupied after everyone else has arrived on Wed/ Thursday?

I am thinking Whittlebury might be good as it’s close to Becketts too but go on their website and I just end up getting confused on which part is going to be best. We’d like lively but then to escape to our tent and get some sleep without too much background noise – albeit beer deafness always helps. Wonder if I may be asking a little much?!

Cheers

Paul

I am going to Silverstone this year my first ever grand prix :) got weekend tickets for Corpse A the only thing i’m not sure about is where to park if you purchase park and ride or to park at the track any suggestions?

For those of you who do not know, Silverstone Golf Club offer very convenient camping. I have stayed there twice in the past and can recommend it. Just go to their website to book….You can also sneek in the back road via Dadford, very easy.

I thought this would be the appropriate place to tell you that I was a runner-up in the Silverstone Media Awards prize draw! I got an email this morning asking for an address to send a “goody bag”. Keith included a link to the voting page back in December, and I took it upon myself to vote for F1Fanatic in a couple of categories. Looks like it paid off :)

Congratulations @estesark!
