We passed an equally crazy place in Scotland the other week, at Ardelve by Loch Long.
Actually a distillery and tea room! Lots of buildings like this:

Last call for anyone who is thinking about joining us as we're booking hotels

Obviously you can join us later if you wish, but you'll need to book your own accomodation

I will not be able to make that as on a work mission to the south of France end of that week. Shame as the draw of watching Ronin spank his Audi round the track with the £37 cam chain adjuster is sooo strong!

Get the session booked at Spa if you're up for that, as there is a limit to how many cars they will allow on track. The link is here. We're running in Pack C on 20/09/2022.

We'll publish hotel details and ferry details once we've sorted them out
