The Silverstone Classic experience was second to none last year and with camping just outside the circuit grounds, I am certainly planning on doing the same again for this year.

I have found the confirmation letter from last year but not the price guide, although I do have a record of sending them £30 in advancement and we stayed the three nights ... this year they are quoting £75 for those same three nights

Bloomin' 'eck 75 GBP just for Camping 3 nights
In the Midlands you can get B&B for only a bit more; full English thrown in
Of course thats per person not per Tent.

Cheers

Okay nice one Paul. Can't understand why they have put the prices up, they weren't exactly packed to the brim last year and that's only going to put more off from doing the same this year. I will have a look at a few of the other close camp sites as well to see what their rates are at for this year.

Ahhhhh ... should have seen that coming. I remember thinking the same last year and having to ring them to confirm the details but for some reason I totally forgot. We arrived on the Friday last year but I am going to book up for arrival on the Thursday and make a weekend of it again. You up for the camping fun again then Paul? It would be nice to get more of us together on the site over the weekend but its not to everyone's taste.

Muppits!!

to quote myself once again!!

I'm up for this one, I only live 15 minutes away but could still be persuaded to go camping. Are (K series) S2 Elises classed as classic yet? . If not I may have to purchase that Esprit I've always hankered after.

Nick

Hi Nick.

If i say your car a future classic that covers that one as for the Esprit will it go in the garage aswell?
