Been to Goodwood F O S quite a few times in the past (four times) but not in the last few years. When I've gone this is where I've stayed. They get pretty booked up well in advance. But it's one of the nicest B&Bs I've stayed at.

Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

Last time I went was a couple of years ago on the black Fazer 1000 as a friend had been given some tickets, did marshal there a couple of times which was great as we were fed and watered, but still had time to look at cars etc.
[/size][/color]I normally ride down on the day as relatively near and the roads are awesome anyway. Have a couple of spare beds and a caravan plus room for bikes for next year FOC near Sevenoaks Kent.[/font] :sun

Don't think the links were important, but offer still stands. Going down that way Sunday to RSPB place, also love Amberley biker friendly cafe at Houghton Bridge on the river, and not far from Arundel Castle, more lovely cafe's on the river and Clymping, though they now charge for parking there.
[/size][/color]Goodwood is great even on a non Festival day, as there is a lovely cafe there overlooking airfield and the track, as they run driving experiences in all sorts of exotic cars, plus there is a little go kart track, something for everyone![/font] :D
