I only restarted spotting on a full time basis in the March of 2013 so these were my first visits to these fields for more years than I'd care to remember. I started at Thruxton which I knew how to find as in a previous job, one of my customers was the British Automobile Racing Club at the circuit. The manager back then was "Tom Jones" but it appears that he had moved on to pastures greener (or maybe the Green Green Grass of Home?).
Popham proved a little more difficult, I came off the A303 at the wrong slip and ended up in Whitchurch, I drove around for what seemed like ages before I finally found the entrance.
I knew Blackbushe's location as I'd spent many a day there, for rock concerts, for drag racing, and also used to help my dear old Dad out when he had a market stall.
