Possible group buy on a hotel then?

We can certainly approach them and see what they say ! They did ask about group booking the last time we went.

P.S. Kerry, You won't count as company, as you will probably be pre-occupied with riding something else LoL

I had an idea for knowing when people are coming (for taking their photos) this year. Cannibalising an iTrip or similar' date=' and adding a simple tone to the input. Take a radio to the spectating point, and tune it into the frequency of all the radio transmitters. Everyone has one in their car transmitting a steady tone over the same frequency. When someone's coming, the radio you're listening to at the spectator spot will start to beep. That's the time to raise the camera, and take a photo. I think I'll try it out this year...

Cheers,

Will they have the range?

"The new Regulations set out the technical specifications for legal devices. This is to minimise the risk of interference to other radio devices. In particular, the Regulations set a 50 nanoWatts power limit for legal devices, which limits the distance at which they can broadcast to up to 8 metres."

Might be better trying to rig something with the PMRs.

In reality, those transmitters work over more than 8 metres. Perhaps they don't have the power though. I'll have to get one for a quick play. The PMRs probably have too great a transmission distance. Ideally, the transmitter should give you about 10-20 seconds notice of a car approaching.

Cheers,

Andy

I'd just like to point out that I was there with my wife. I did not find out how "friendly" the manager was :-p

Seriously, they're very friendly, and overly attentive there. It's a good drive back there from the 'Ring too!

Cheers,

Andy

Shopping? The only things you can buy near there are extra laps, fuel, 'Ring merchandise, extra laps, fuel, and currywurst mit pommes!
