End-Nov every year - they hold a fan-fare over a weekend that seems well like a long-weekend - even if your only an elementary on-looker.
My first impressions of the place
- Holy Cow this is insane stuff. 
- Very Gothic in nature and feels Mechanically Eerie, but extremely thrilling.
Have some superb shots in 6 film rolls ( Kodak Gold ) in my Nikon super zoom lens.
Got the opportunity to ride with a Harley Biker from 'Upp'-North ( as they say ) at the fair and did say my last prayers during a round-about at some insane speeds.!!! But am still around, i guess.
If anyone travelling there - right at the start of Spring - they do a Sunday show as well that attracts lots of crowds from London & even places like Manchester / Birmingham as well.
British Motoring though, has several such joints spread across the country that keep alike the English traditions of motor-sport.
Will search through my rubble and scan & post my times at the Ace. |
SRShrikanth: FINALLY. Someone who's been there, done that.
I'd love to see your pics, so please post them as soon as is convenient.
Most unusual that you say Gothic. Sitting very far away with not a glimmer of ever going there, it's just the way I'd imagined it: conjures up tribal imagery. And bearded, beer-swilling artists. And a wild, typically Brit patois. How peculiar, but probably nice and quaint.
Any haggis and stout and Yorkshire pudding and mead in sight?
