First little tip -don't put DoNNington into your satnav as you will probably never get there

Well, you can watch planes take-off and land, without getting out of your tent

Seriously though, I've never camped there myself, as the 'rents live only about 15 miles away. I was trying to find you a "bodysnatcher" map, but there doesn't appear to be one for Donington, at least not on the BMMC website.

Found the Map that Guinness was looking for, Bodysnatcher did put it a proviso on it that some of the information may be out of date due to the works that have gone on since it was produced

Jim Whittaker did the google map before the Gillet changes.

He controls the collaboration rights so if it needs to be amended drop him an email or PM.

BTW there's a FB marshals page that has all the UK circuit google map links in one doc.
FB banned from works PC so I can't remember which FB page 'zactly.

I wonder if you'll say that after DHL and the Andropov have finished.

Hmm, I think Chigley's just talking about aircraft noise, but that reminds me that you'll be sleeping about a mile from where DHL found a bomb in some cargo, last year, so be careful what you wish for

hhmmm

Thanks for the reminder, I've made some edits. Let me have any further suggestions/corrections.
