First track day with some tuition
#11
+1 for Blyton Park. Went there for the first time last month and it was a great day - really good facilities and a good circuit with some tricky sections, but plenty of room if it goes wrong.
The day I went to was organised by Javelin Trackdays and they had tuition available in 20 minute chunks. I didn't take any up, as it was my first TD in the S and I wanted to see what it would do on my own before someone sat next to me. I also went with a couple of guys who knew what they were talking about so they gave me some solid advice in exchange for some passenger runs. Not the same as pro tuition, but I finished the day a damn sight smoother and faster than I started.
If you decide to go for it drop me a message - there are a few chaps around Sheffield / Notts (like me) who would come along for the day.

Well within your catchment area however, is Blyton Park.

Again - professional opinion: Oulton is not suitable for a total novice in less than ideal conditions.
It's very easy to get sucked in around Island and through Clay Hill and Druids - and the lack of run off there has killed many cars in the wet.

Only been there a handful of times, and the amount of tank-slappers at Druids when wet & greasy is notable. My brother took his BMW there 3 weeks ago and drove it like a vicar - being a novice, I thought it was a bit of a waste of money and better spent at an airfield with more room.
