At the minute its Harewood......I would like to go and do others but the Isle of Man and my usual season are about as much as I can afford/take time off for.

Lydden is on the A2, 10 miles south of Canterbury or 5 miles north of Dover.
Some corners are suitable for drifting, but others could be a bit scarry.

That looks far too spectacular to be the Lydd, near Dungeness.
Maybe it is ......

Its not too bad, just not much room for overtaking, but far better than Curborough for instance...

Here's a vid from April at the drift practice session..
