all the people who shout out 118-118 I've got your number

-----------In
the morning it is a leisurely get up and breakfast at 9
then its up to the airport for your flight home . then
its time to tow your car home.
The weekend is a busy
one but very enjoyable and well worth the cost, when you
think that the Alderney hill and sprint entrys plus your
car there and back is only £200, Compared with lets
say a Jersey hill costing about £450 for one event
with a two night stay then it is truly good value for
money.
