Default National Day stop over saturday night.

Who's staying where?

i wanna visit both of the 2 days but live 150 odd miles away and don't wanna travel home between the 2 days!

i wanna stop somewhere but would rather go with a few people as i don't fancy camping/lodging up in a hotel by myself

what u guys/girls doing? and more importantly details of where ya staying would be brilliant

Thank you

prob camp at Shardlow (or might be shardwell) marina

Either way its a 5 min drive from Donnigton through the village and normally dont que on the way in as it takes you the back way in.

They have a pub on site and the campsite is pretty big...

Most people camp here to be fair.

I think I remember reading that there were no spectators on the Saturday?

Not sure how true it is, as spectators are always allowed at Donnington track days!

I'd recomend Shardlow marina. Camped there last year. There was plenty of space.

The pub (which had live entertaiment) is next to the place reserved for the RS camping.

It's also safe to park your car as you can park it next to your tent
