I usually get there just before the outer gates open at 7:30am. Cheese on toast and a coffee first, then a bit of a stroll around the various stalls before crossing the bridge into the track then straight to the paddock(s) to take static pics before it gets too crowded.
Then cross the airfield towards the other tunnel across the track, but staying on the inside for a few pics. Cross the track through the tunnel and walk anti-clockwise.
OR, come out of the paddock before the track action, across the track near the start and grab a few action pics on the chicane exit before walking clockwise, right around the track. Gets very busy at the chicane exit with crowds, and at Woodcote, so if you don't get to the front of the fence early, taking pics isn't easy.
Food outlets in several areas. The Coleman's pie shop behind Woodcote was worth a stop and there used to be an excellent fish and chip van.
Last year, behind the start finish grandstand, was a good food outlet.
Enjoy yourself Oldfart and add some pics to this thread when you get back.
Not sure if you have worked out how to do it! In summary for the pics, you must copy the pics you want to post. Preserve the originals in a safe directory on your computer. You then have to shrink the copies to a maximum of 185kbs and no bigger than 800 pixels wide before uploading. You might want to download 'Image resizer' which is a free programme and easy to use.

Click on the picture of a tree, third little pic from the right and browse the folder on your computer and upload, one at a time. If you get stuck, don't be afraid to ask.
