I would have thought yes. there's certainly electrical sockets on the wall.

Might be a bit of a grey start, but looking good for later in the day... he optimistically says..  

It's looking better than when I checked earlier in Anglesey,so hopefully you get a mainly dry day

But not so good for where I live and the route to Anglesey

Well all I can say is all of the forecasts were wrong. It didn't stop raining from around 11 o'clock. I packed up at half 2 and came home

[CosKev]

Ah crap

They were totally wrong here too,didn't have a drop of rain until tea time!

That’s rubbish! But at least it makes me feel a bit better

[BenD]

I think you had the best idea mate to sty at home.

The last half hour was dry. Unfortunately we'd all given up by then and started loading up. Drive back was worse though.. some horrendous rain coming out of Wales, and most of the way up the M6 too.

Yeh I was plagued by the rain on the way back. I think it followed me until I got to Whitchurch and it cleared up. Its a shame as when I did get chance to get some dry running on the slicks I was getting more confident

The one decent session in the morning we had on slicks, I hadn't put the gopro on.. I was so confident we were in for a dry afternoon.

Did I say it was a bit wet? 

Forward footage is probably from the wettest part of the day. Rear footage was the last session I did.. ending about 4pm. 30 to 40 mins later the track was dry.

Aquaphobia?  .. I think I suffer a little from that too. For a long hot summer, I've seen some wet trackdays lately.  Oulton, Cadwell, Rockingham, and Anglesey this year have all been not entirely dry.  

Couple of bone dry Doningtons and a dry Croft day helps balance things.
