That looks very tasty G4, where about is Kames anyway, being of a young diposition I hav no idea where it is.
Not a G4 - tho I can understand why you'd think so! That's a G22 a much rarer beastie and if only I knew how to get photos onto PH I'd post one ... Doh!! But I'm sure the G4 man will be only too pleased to have an excuse!!As for Kames it's a great circuit, but a long way from Aberdeenshire unfortunately - in fact, my only regret in moving north from the Central Belt is it's further away from Kames, which is in a small village called Muirkirk in deepest Ayrshire!! Worth a trip if you fancy a long run tho, a really good spectator circuit, good catering (well filled bacon rolls to die for!), friendly chat (as everywhere!) and if you do venture down on August 4/5, you get to see the G22 in action in Scotland for the first time in a couple of years!!
I like Kames, despite having an 'off' which resulted in the contents of my sump (well not my sump the car's sump) being deposited throughout the pit and me having a major clean up job, but I like the fact that it has some changes in elevation and blind corners, would be nice if it was a little wider though and less severe kerbs.
For those in Aberdeen it is easier and quicker going to Kames than Golspie, but I have yet to find a good convenient place to stay close to the circuit.

There are static vans for hire at the caravan site adjacent to Kames. The best hotel (i.e. one that is up to Broomsticklady's standards...) I can find in that area is the lochside hotel (www.lochside-hotel.com ). There is also the Dumfies Arms in Cumnock (www.dumfries-arms-hotel.co.uk ) and there is a Travelodge of sorts on the M74.

Have tried the Dumfries Arms, it was OK, also Abington Hotel, it was interesting, the place at Sorn, it was OK. and the hotel in New Lanark, it was good but just a bit too far from the track, haven't tried Lochside yet that will be one for next year.
