Turweston for Grand Prix Weekend

Hi all

I have been in contact with Turweston, and they have very helpfully provided me with a price list of landing fees etc for the race weekend.

I'm absolutely dead set that i want to go, but have found out that transfers alone to and from the airfield will cost...get ready....£280 for two people for the 3 days. This is stupid money, for what is a 8KM distance as the crow flies.

I can understand that the roads are busy, and its a 4X4 service across a farmwers field, and its big money grand prix weekend, but i am still shocked a this cost

Break down for transfers is as follows:

Return transfers to the circuit on Friday 9th July - £25.00 per person
Return transfers to the circuit on Saturday 10th July - £40.00 per
person
Return transfers to the circuit on Sunday 11th July - £75.00 per person


Is there anyone that has been in the past few years that can advise on a local bus route, or even a route to walk to silverstone.

Thanks for your time, am very grateful

Geez
