£10 pppn? and all they supply is drinking water?

That is also a long way from the circuit at least Whittlebury has better facilities and it's own gate direct onto the circuit.

Thats the feedback needed Scanner which is why I posted it,how far is it from the circuit? (I dont know the area!)

Are we saying that Whittlebury is THE place to stay?

DBlake has put a link in for Whittlebury camping on Page 1

From http://www.hamiltonfields.co.uk/index.html

An ideal location for those wanting to stay on a quiet campsite that is a 20 minute walk to the Silverstone Circuit.

It's not a a 20 minute walk I'd like to do too often.

(Just checked and it's 2.2miles/3.5kms to the main gate.)

Whittlebury is a shorter walk than most of the circuit car parks, but they know it and know they can charge for that convenience.

well tickets ordered, and myself waiting

i have F1 in june at silverstone

1st time at f1 event, and im stopping at the whittlebury campsite

so as soon as i get / if i get ,,,, my tickets i shall try that site ASAP

andy

I suppose we could be persuaded to come along to this

Tickets booked!

Whittlebury is your best plan. Most of the other sites are only open for the F1 weekend. Silverstone occasionally allow on-site camping but it is rare, which is a shame as they have enough ground & facilities for it. As Scanner says, from Whittlebury you can walk to the Copse entrance which puts you right by the footbridge access to the paddock area. The facilities at Whittlebury aren't legendary either, but you're in a Bongo, right?

To give you an idea of what the site is like, here's Muzette in 2007 having infiltrated the Team Dipsomaniacs camp.....



....and here's a more familiar shot from 2008

Booking form for Whittlebury..... http://www.whittlebury.com/upload//2009 ... an2009.pdf for those who want to stay.....

I have e-mailed them to ask if we have a group of us, that we can camp together..... but I suppose it depends how many want lectric.....

The electric pitches are very limited, and very expensive unless you're running an air-conditioner in a Winnebago. For one night you're best plan is "rough-it"

Roughing it will do for me!! This is sounding like a plan,well done guys!!

Apart from all the free fairground stuff for the kids, there's a lot of good track action to watch. Everything is Renault, surprisingly enough, but you should see.......


nearly new F1 cars in action


vintage F1 cars in action


vintage endurance racers in action


and Meganes with bodykits you can't get from your local dealer

Hi Guys, I have contacted the site and awaiting a call back regarding you all being grouped. I will let you know the outcome shortly
Sounds like a really good weekend!

Nice one Anna......I did e-mail them earlier but I wasn't going to pester them until after the Bank Holiday...mind you it depends how many we are going to get coming..........my e-mail from Renault says I should get my tickets in 6 weeks...

Hi Mike,
Still waiting for reply, but if necessary I will pop up there after the easter monday, when they are less busy. As for numbers Think it would be easier to book the whole sit 500 places, the way it's going About 15-30 I would think really.
I think this was a great idea from DBlake!
and will be a great weekend ! I am still trying to get pooch sorted, so that I can be there Saturday too. Anyone who wants to make a full weekend from friday and can afford it There is a friday show and meal at the Hall of Motown blues sort. Nice if celebrating birthday etc
