Have to agree that there must be some way of finding out the positions during the race. I'm not too worried about big screens, but even an old fashioned notice board with hourly updates would have been good!
Was guilty of forgetting to bring a radio along which would have helped a bit.
As for food, that's easy, you walk five minutes around the corner and go to the market. Where for an entrance fee of 50p you can treat yourself to anything from a jacket potato with two fillings (£2.50) to a Halal chicken curry with rice & naan bread (£5) plus a decent cuppa for 50p.
Also gives you the chance to stock up on cheap drinks and snacks to keep you going though the rest of the race. A trip to Donny isn't the same without going to the market plus as you can hear the speakers you can easily keep up with the race while you're there!
Totally enjoyed my day out, just wish the Zytek hadn't broken.
