    WOW!! I'm so surprised.Went back to my local Morrisons which isn't in our town but we were there anyway to see if they had any of these in and was really surprised to find at least 5 boxes on the shelf.We took the four we needed and are well chuffed!!

    Went to MotoGP on sunday.....apart from the weather it was a good day....:D

    My tickets arrived today! I'm looking forward to this it should be fun. I've never been to Donnington before although it's only an hour away.

    As a newcomer to bike racing, does anyone have any useful advise for the day? best palces to watch etc..

    Again thanks to the OP for a great spot.

    Hubby and I go quite regularly to race meetings.The best advice I think is to take your food/drink with you.We didn't the first time we went and apart from massive queues for food the prices are high too.We always take a huge brolly too as it keeps off both the sun and rain.(went to MotoGP on sunday and got soaked on trek back to car....lol)Also we always try to sit on/near a corner.....this way you will see most of the action...e.g. overtaking and crashes.We also take deckchairs with us unless you don't mind sitting on the grass.Oh....and get there early.....place is a nightmare to get into what with queues of traffic.Last yr for MotoGP took us 3 hrs to move 3 miles...and that was just getting parked.This yr in MCN people reported taking 3 hrs just to get out of car park.Thats the only downfall of Donington....parking isn't well organised.
    If I think of anything else i'll let you know.

    HTH

    Thanks shelly for the advice especially about the chairs, I don't think the wife would have enjoyed sitting on the grass all day.

    My hubby goes on his bike and came back like a drowned rat last Sunday. He's bought a folding chair there for £2.50 or so (very small and portable) but he said a burger is about £6!! There's plenty of stalls there which they like, Silverstone doesn't have as many (or any) he says, so take plenty of money!!!! Lol! My tickets have arrived Charlotte, so hubby and his brother well pleased as they usually go anyway. Thanks again!
