Closest Petrol Station to Cadwell?

I'm doing a trackday at Cadwell on Saturday and wondered if anyone could tell me where the nearest/quickest to get to petrol station is to the place? Also, how many miles am I likely to be doing in a 20 minute session?

Thanks Smile

Out the circuit, turn left, maybe 2 miles down the hill in Scamblesby.

Grumpy little man comes out and fills it for you, but note that they only take cash.

Miles? Depends how fast you're going innit.

Hi
Theres a little one as you turn left out of the circuit onto the main road down the bottom of the hill, but its not always open.

You will use a hell of a lot more petrol than you usually do, probably as low as 60 - 70 miles to a tank, if that.

Ok cheers. If he's closed is my best bet to find one in Louth?

As for miles, it's my first trackday, and obviously first time there (in novice), so any rough guesstimates? 2:30 to do a 2 mile circuit would mean 8 laps = 16 miles per session. Is that a reasonable rough figure?

Bendy · Mrs Sensible Joined: 10 Jun 2002 Karma :

Yes, Louth would be the next closest.

Why do you need to know the mileage? As Luke explained, your MPG will be all to hell anyway, so it's not like it'll help work out when to get petrol.

So I'll be able to figure out how many sessions I'll get before I need to fill up.

Open the tank and look inside.

Cant say i had a mega problem on my hornet. Would noramlly go the morning on one tank then fill up at lunch time. Just put your tap in the "on " position, if it conks out move to reserve and you'll have enough to get to either petrol station.

If Scamblesby is closed, turn right out the track and follow the road to Louth. At the crossroads after 3-5mins turn left onto the main road and down/up the dual carriageway. Straight on at next island, right at the next and take the right turn 50 yards after the island. You'll see the garage from then. It's about 10mins from Cadwell.

A full tank on arrival will see you through till lunch, then fill up during the 1hr40m break. (1hr lunch, 40min till your session).

Have fun Thumbs Up

Thanks for your help everyone Thumbs Up

. My girlfriend's going in the car aswell now, and I've got a jerry can in the garage I didn't know I had and apparently she has one aswell so we'll fill them up too.

Thanks for the directions Cillit, the info about the Hornet Jay, and about the petrol in the tank Bendy: I've never bothered to look any more than vertical at that plate in the tank (from sat on the seat) so I just assumed it went all the way back. The bike is normally very well behaved with regards to fuel consumption and doesn't vary wildly regardless of the trip it's doing (blast round twisties, motorway or inner city commuting) so I've only sloshed the petrol around a handful of times. I know when it's full, when it's half empty and when it's running on fumes Laughing
