Excellent, well done :-)

You'll find it gets easier and smoother from here on in. People usually start with the one bend which leads to accidentally getting it down on others. After a while you'll be finding it gets in the way and lifting it up again and/or complaining about the cost of sliders :)

Hi Deejay,

I agree that CSS does a good job and was just surprised at how much you would have to spend just to achieve one goal. Have seen them on sky and the schools look very good for teaching all the topics and goals  :icon_thumright: If they were a bit more local for more I would probably make it a regular visit, just to make my riding safer if anything as I'm certainly no racer.  :-S

Yep, there are cheaper ways of getting your knee down, that's for sure.

As for being local - they runs courses at Silverstone on the Stowe circuit. Not too much of a trip from Suffolk. We're over there next month and have booked a local travellodge the night before for 15 quid, so not too bad at all.
