New Tarmac Bashing location - Otley Mills - Sunday's Only

[Sandmaster Ben]

Hi Guys,

There's a spot I go down to with a few mates sometimes on a Sunday as the businesses there are closed. It's a great spot especially if its been wet the previous day as it's tarmac and drains relatively well. It's not too bad if it's wet on the day either. I get fed up of having to clean all the mud out of it all the time as some of the other places aren't great when it's wet. There is a good jump where the grass bank seperates the two carparks.

Suitable for all cars and scales, both fuel and electric.

it's located about a mile from modelsport, not that they're open on a sunday.

If you look at it on the map you will see 3 car parks. The one we use is a middle of the 3 where the line of boulders can be seen. You enter just where the blue car is pulling out onto ilkley road.

If anyone fancies trying it out let me know.

thats next to where I go fishing sometimes fishing and rc's the same day now thats a plan.

Shame the cafe aint open on sundays either as it does good grub and a decent cuppa.

[Sandmaster Ben]

Lol nice one, its just left of the pin in the larger middle car park, basically you enter off the road into the car park. Its quite big and away from houses. I'll sort organising a meet one Sunday

Just been down with my 5ive, good spot to keep it clean large enough good spot

[Sandmaster Ben]

Nice one mate glad you thought it's ok. As you mention, great when its damp as the cars stay clean. Did you find the jump between the two car parks? Near the metal bar height restriction thingy.

[Defender Josh]

Yep haha had it flying over it, I like like 2 mins away from mills, nice and local!! Shame they've put all rocks over top off the rest of banking though!!!

Looks like a good spot. I live in Yeadon and take my DRX to Nunroyd park to go on clay/gravel and into a business park between the offices on their tarmac car parks. Otley mills looks bigger so I might give it a go one Sunday.

Does anybody know anything about the track in Skipton ?

I think the track at Skipton is for RC bikes.

I went to the business park the other week with a few mates, is that the one near the indoor footy place? If it is the only problem there was cars and kerbs. Jet2 is open all the time so the business park is never properly deserted. Try the otley spot mate its open enough so you don't hit anything.
