Remember booking a donnington trackday a couple of years ago for january,weather was great(for that time of year),until a couple of days before when it started to snow!
Drove up from plymouth in the middle of the night in a rented iveco turbo daily that had a sticking throttle and 0 damping on the shocks(hit a bump on the m5 and it didnt stop pogoing for quite some time,Kept us amused!),got near donny about 4 am parked in layby for a couple of hrs kip not easy with 3 in the front,ended up getting in the back but was too cold.
Started snowing at dawn,didnt settle but was bloody freezing wind.
Had so many layers on that couldnt move about on the bike ended up riding round old skool style (i.e pre 70's!).
The northern guys were mental,warming bikes up at 8 am and walking round in short sleeves like it was spring!think i had a balaclava on.
The moral of the story,dont book for that time of year,i know its cheap but they wont be booked up so if the weather looks okayish just turn up and pay,wish i hadnt booked as i felt obliged to go,but looking back was pretty crazy.
Might be ok if you sleep in a nice warm bed the night before,dont recommend the van.

Will be in a nice warm bed the night before Dave.
Weather should'nt be too much of a problem,gonna do it on me trailie before i put the big knobblies on.
Cannot wait to get it on a track,and it'll give me something to look forward to,rather than this load a $*^£ we call chrismas .
I used to be so care less,as if i could'nt careless.
