Which telly channel is it on?

Really bugs me when races get mentioned on the (BBC) radio, yet there seems to be no terestrial or standard Digital TV coverage.

I ain't got SKY or any other subscription digital channels. So where can I watch coverage?

Thanks, White Noise.

Just switched channels and watching it now.

'kin ell. I'd need a brolly and oars!

Would YOU risk those track conditions at that speed?

I wouldn't have the guts!

I missed nearly all of it until White Noise told me which channel it was on.

Most disappointed.

I Blame White Noise for not letting me know it was on in the first place

(Not really, Michael). Just kidding.

Ain't got a clue, COLINWALL.

Like I said before, I missed most of it completely.

But I'm scanning the channels for any highlights tonight.

If I find anything, I'll post it here.

Now you've made me jealous

I wanted to be there myself, but had other commitments.

Must have been great to be close to the action. Wet as it was and all that.

I just back from my 180 mile journey home. What a fucking distance to travel and get so wet I am dreading the ride home, then to get caught in a fuck off shower near Birmingham! And only 8 bikes or something finished!

Best part of the day was the 125cc racing, that was ace!

Got back a bit earlier - took me three hours to do a 90 minute journey... over an hour to get out of the track, and down to the A42 Thought I had bloody pneumonia by the time I got home!

Anyway, took the camera and big lens so I've posted some pictures here:

Got back last night at midnight. First my battery died on me as a result of waiting with the bike idling for ages while we waited to get out for what seemed like about an hour (thank you so much guy who gave me a bump start!) then I had to stop for about another hour in some services just to stop shivering as all of my clothes were totally soaked through. A hot chocolate and long wait later and I figured I'd just about avoid pneumonia and headed off again.

Not too bad after that though and enjoyed some fairly quick filtering most of the rest of the way back with a bloke on a speed triple.

And now it's off to work. In my still wet leathers. Great.

[JonB]

MIDNIGHT?

How much longer after me did you and Sam leave?

I bet you got lost.
