Take spare brake pads or fit new ones before you go.
pretty much all of us munched a set of pads when we were there due to the wet weather and that you are running down hill over and over.
take some food too

There's a good cafe called Junction 26 which is at J26 on the M25 (No idea where they got the name from!). As you go anti-clockwise on the M25, come off at J26 and take the 4th exit, taking you under the M25, round the bend and it's on the left.

It's a bit pricey but is a good cafe. I'd recommend the mixed omelette with chips and beans.

Yep great day and weather was spot on all day until we left then pissed down lol, did learn a lot today especially on fast cornering on berms, Tony is a real nice guy and clearly loves what he does and is a great teacher..

worth every penny and not expensive anyway considering how much it will help you improve....
