It is a long time since I was last at Fintray, and always stayed at B & B's in the past.
Presumably camping at Fintray is allowed. If so, is it possible to get a decent sized motorhome with trailer in ? - I seem to remember it was fairly tight, but cannot recall where on the site any motorhomes were placed.
Any advice appreciated - the obvious "stay in a B & B" does not work with wife, child and dogs !!

I think the same applies for the next event.

Yes, the landowner is extremely insistent that no-one stay overnight .
It will say so in the SRs or Finals for the meeting.

Folks, the Smiths have sold their farm so no camping available now at Fintray. There ia a caravan/camping site at Kintore which is only 4 miles away.

The landowner at the track is adamant that there is no camping on site.

Plenty of grass verges in the area - does not seem to stop the Diddies parking up and spreading their washing on the hedge.....

Len,

You know where you (and Mary and Dan) can stay ... and I'll only charge £16.50!

Only stipulation is that one of you will have to stay up drinking with me ... I guess that's Dan then. Wink

Seriously, give me a shout if you want. We'd be delighted to have you ... and I can get some tips on "nodding".

Cheers,

Eric Smile

cheers Eric thanks for that, but have booked the campsite, re nodding! do you really want to get your hands dirty? when there is always plenty of guys around to do welding for you?
e.g I have aa Ally sump to weld for Drew for his new car/engine he is buliding for next year which I will take down to him at Golspie so can do small jobs for you like that
