FYI - I'm off to Oliver's mount this weekend. Not got tickets as I was waiting to see weather.

it's going to be dry :thumbup

I'm camping, and am looking forwards to another big trip on the T....

Good to meet up with some other northern folk as it's not too far from you lot. :yes
 
I'm goin over Saturday ,set of about 4 ish . Me and another 3 are campin as well , normally set up beside the toilets ne'er the entrance . Look out for a black BMW gs ,1200 bandit .and a blue sv . Maybe another blue/white Tuono . Not sure what to do get rat arsed on site or go into town . One ov the lads are old mates with a bunch of loons from Hetton who do a bit ov marshalling . Good crack
 
Cool. As you've been before, have you any hints tips of where to camp, where to stand etc?
 
yeah,i will be going up Sunday morning. never camped. its a good track,with loads of good viewing spots.Weather is looking good,so fingers crossed.
 
I would say there's no bad place to stand ! My best spot Jeffrey s jumps , Dave bell is good entertainment ,always on his back wheel . As for the campin think it's goin to be busy so just grab where you can . One thing I can say try to use the toilets ne'er entrance .one ne'er the beer tent gets well hammered . Take loo role ! And something for under your stand . You will enjoy it .
 
Loads of good viewing at Scarborough.Saturday is usually less busy and the best for having a good mooch around the circuit.Can get packed out on sunday so its not always easy to get a good spot.
A few of my faves,
The outside of the esses,....watch the riders catch their knees on the grass banking.
At the esses,nip over the bridge and head towards the hairpin,.....its pretty tame,tbh,....instead head towards the memorial.Squeeze through the hedge for a better view.
Its a bit of a hike but mountside hairpin is the best,imo.Fast downhill to a virtual stop,....the bikes sliding and skating about as the riders scrub of speed.
The downhill jumps are also good,but its tricky to get a good view as its very popular with photographers and they can hog the best spots.

I seem to remember the camping is usually at the top of the circuit,near the toilet block and 'bikers village'.There is also usually a bar up there that is open all day and most of the night.I think the nearest pub is out of the circuit and halfway down the hill towards town.(The Still?)Bit of a walk,....especially if yer pissed on the way back up that hill.
I usually go B&B,....loads of good,cheap accomodation in town,....and loads more pubs to choose from.
Sadly cant make it this year,but its on my wish list for 2013.
