 Posted: 22:11 - 25 Jul 2010 Post subject: Hampshire Police H&H or Enduroland? - 8th August |
 |
|
The Hampshire police MCC Hare and Hounds I'd mentioned elsewhere is more conveniently located for the South East lot:
https://enduronews.com/regs/ENDURO%2002%2010%20%20SUPP%20REGS.doc
However, enduro land, which is at Lemmington Spa on the same day has some advantages.
https://www.enduroland.co.uk/Events.htm *
You get longer on track, with less urgency to complete laps as quickly as possible.
Also allows more of the 'social' aspect I think Blue was hoping for.
This one should certainly be better for newbs that haven't ridden on any tracks (ie I know blue has done Tonymoto, but others might be better here) and offers the option to swap bikes etc.
I doubt this will be an amazing track for enduroland (their home one is pretty nice, with a decent variation), but generally they're not bad.
£40 for a non-membership day ticket is less than the Hare & Hounds.
I'm happy to do either.
Lifts from reading for a donation towards van costs if anyone's interested.
* More details hopefully on the main page when they update - I'm presuming it's not a 'prebook' day or anything. |

I'd be tempted, but enduroland is a bloody long way from Portsmouth, hmmm. ____________________ Current Toys: 06 Yamaha WR250F | Nissan 350Z GT | Tech 4 Homes |

Enduroland is a hare and hounds style marked out course, there are plenty of fast people there - just as fast as you'll meet at an actual enduro generally.
However, if you're wanting a bit of competition with people you know, then it's going to be better as you can meet at the end of a lap, while you tend to get out of kilter a bit in a Hare and Hounds, then not meet each other again.
<shrugs>, I'm happy enough either way . |

Multijoy and myself could well be tempted by the lift to Enduroland - assuming the entry fee is per bike rather than per person? And I reckon I'd probably be the slowest by a long way  ____________________ Rides: '91 CG125 (Sold), '00 CB500S (Sold), '97 Thundercat (Sold), '99 KTM EXC 300 (SOLD), '99 RSV Mille (stolen. Thieving SCUM!!!), '94 DR350 (sold), '10 Vstrom 650 (hated it so much I gave up riding), now on the OH's CBF1000 until I can afford another Mille... |

Meh, if you guys want to go to Enduroland, then it's fine by me ... there will always be another enduro (I am not overly hungry to do one, but would do one)!!  ____________________ The purpose of life is to fight maturity. |

It would be best if a bunch of us wanted to go, but I don't expect that will be the case and I doubt we would all be the same pace either. |
Yea, that's the thing - I suspect even given a similar pace one of us would drop the bike on the first lap or whatever, then wouldn't see the rest for the next few hours, making it a bit irrelevant to go with others .
This isn't so much of a trackday compared to a race, it's like comparing an open pitlane trackday to a hottrax endurance event with similar level riders - not too far different.
I think entry is per bike, but not 100% sure (it used to be, can't remember the last time I went).
I'm still undecided, but if a few want a lift, probably be better for me to do enduroland on a value basis, what with being poor etc . |

A bit further away, but this looks interesting... '5 out of 5' difficulty wise they say, must be done in teams of 2 due to being 6 hours and nasty terrain.
https://www.tbec.co.uk/buttsquarry-round-7/
Though, looking at some of the youtube footage, hmmm, maybe could do with getting some more recent practice in - looks quite gnarly!
Maybe next year, then.
Think I might just do the Hare and hounds for ease, now. |
