11:30-ish:
It's hot and sunny shock!
As this photo, taken by mistake, proves.
A thing of great beauty.
Muc-On more like.
Splendid action shot of a proper photographer.
6-into-6: now that's what we call an exhaust system.
House Martin nests on the Race Control tower.
Parents flying in and out too quick for us!
And so the great debate begins: which one of us will drive and who is gonna do the pushing?
Ducati is ready for its carburettor close-up.
Parade riders slowly being consumed by two-stroke exhaust haze.
Left the paddock now and we're on the Wheatcroft Straight where Alan Brooks (9) - KSK 350 Honda & Michael Nash-De-Villiers - 500 Seeley BSA Gold Star are hard at it.
Alan Oversby - 500 Davies Motorsport Honda - at Roberts Chicane.
Bikes and Bikers come in all shapes and sizes.
1:45pm-ish:
We've decided to walk right around the track!
Blimey, bit rash in this heat, isn't it?
This is the view through the fencing at McLeans where there is literally miles of run off.
Wasn't like that back in '77.
All elbows through Schwantz Curve.
Splendid view of The Old Hairpin from the remains of Starkeys Bridge.
Donington has a new 'glamping' facility so Vicky investigates, but it is going to take more than calling one of the 'tents' Barry Sheene to get us interested.
Robert Wittey - PDQ Motorcycle Developments 1170 Kawasaki - at Starkeys.
Craner Curves from the outside for a change.
3:45-ish:
Back in the Paddock prior to departure.
Sidecar bodywork with a much better sponsor than Williams F1.
Todays QI FitBit stats:
11,500 steps.
5.3 miles walked.
31 flights of stairs.
31 flights of stairs?
Must be the walk from The Old Hairpin, up Craners, to Redgate.
Who'd have thought it was the equivalent of 31 flights of stairs?
