Received the following text.....

"No map, but pitches are marked with White paint & Yellow flags. Ground is currently soft & rough.
Numbers start by the Go-karts, letters start at the track.
Pitch A1 is by the go-karts & track.
Pitch A40 is by the road.
Pitch Z40 is by DK & the road.
Two pitches back to back in rows with 4 Metre access.

Further text to clear up smile

Draw 26 columns & 40 rows.
Track at top....Go-karts on top left.
Pitch A1 is top left
Pitch Z40 is bottom right.

ETA..... As I've never been before, none of that means anything to me smile

Our tickets are L57 & L58, so I'm assuming there are more than 40 rows! smile
Looking on the google map of the site I'm guessing will be right next to the road on the east side and halfway up (north to south). It's a real shame they're doing this, we were planning to be right next to the track this year as one of the group is taking his big motorhome which you can sit on the roof of - would have been awesome! Oh well, could be worse I suppose, should be near all the drag racing! biggrin

yo say columns are 2 pitches wide .... do you know which pitches are back to back? is each 'column' seperated by an access road?


Is it pitch 1 & 2 in column A for example that are back to back, or is it A1 / B1

He also mentions, that the erection is going slow due to the heat.

I presume he's on about the tents.

We cannot arrive until Friday afternoon this year due to work commitments and so thought it would be OK on Karting Nord with pre-allocated pitches!

We shall see what happens when we get there, could be major proms if the Technoparc thing is correct !
