I was invited to join Richard & Nicola for a weekend in Sussex to go to a Goodwood Motor Race meeting. Richard is a member so was able to get admission to the members weekend. It was also the 75th anniversary of Porsche so I was hoping there would be a number of Porsche races.
I drove down in the Boxster which was hard work when travelling round the M25 as it was jammed with traffic. The drive back on Sunday afternoon was even more exhausting. The 5 hour journey was torturous with a 5 mile tailback on the M1.
I visited Northampton Services on the way down and the way back. Not an experience I would recommend. The parking was horrendous.
We stayed in house on the edge of Petworth which was quaint. I had to park a 10 minute walk away but that worked out fine. On Sunday before starting the gruelling drive home we went for a walk in the grounds of Petworth House.
The sun was burning off the cloud and warm enough for me to start the drive back through the quiet Sussex roads with the roof down. I stopped before the M25 and put it up to avoid the traffic noise. A great weekend and unique event for me.
