Those are fine when you're lazy, but they'll probably get nicked or you'll be roughed up when passing our a campsite for the umpteenth time in an hour.

My trusty ebay pushbike.  The original one cost a tenner (I paid more for the lights!) but it was nicked by pikies outside my flat - I stretched to a budget of £20 for my second one which actually has a full set of gears (apparently) and metallic paint.

er, mine got nicked 2006 in MB due to a small locking error Sad

however this year a new machine will emerge.....
 "son of moto"

pics to follow once build commences.

My personal self .. always try and avoid the repetitive laps of campsite, i don't have a goldfish memory so prefer to head further afield.

ps my pushbike worth more than ped/scooter and a pain to fit in the car

Ditto -  Walked around circuit, walked back from the town (twice).

Find it helps using the line of sight system -  Walking from one bar you can see to the next!

Always walk around the circuit and village areas.

Use the car to get out to Arnage and Mulsanne.
