Always found it a bit of an anomaly for a UK circuit. Basically a triangle where all the corners lead onto fast bits so getting out of them is probably more important than barreling in all locked up. Flat and difficult to judge braking so get some markers worked out. Use all the track on the corner exit to get on the gas. Take a good look at the kink before the top hairpin, pretty intimidating with the tyre wall but plenty of places can be made up there if you're braver.. Not particularly grippy unless they have resurfaced it recently so make sure your tyres are warmed up!
First trackday, just enjoy it, don't try to 'win', learn about your bike and its capabilities and ride home after.

Fun little track, usually not a lot of grip at the hairpin and if you drop it there it usually ends up being quite silly looking because of how slow that corner is.

Good on a bike, but i prefer it in the kart.
