Wakefield area

[Leeb]

I've been going here quite a bit

map view https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.6034368,-1.3297267,16z waste land off the roundabout below the a6201
post code WF9 4DH. closest one I could find.

 

Never anyone around except me but getting a bit overgrown, still nothing a mt can't handle.

Just round the corner from where I live. I will have to try it out sometime

[Barry Thomson]

Have you tried the old power station site off Doncaster road?

Some wide open tarmac areas, gravel and mud sections plus if you walk through the site there is a great jumps area in the woods

no I haven't thanks for the heads up.

Where abouts on Doncaster road is that Barry?

[Barry Thomson]

Iliamb2387 - Head down doncaster road out of Wakefield,

Pass the old bowling alley

Go through the lights

After going under the railway bridge look for a turn in on your left

If you hit the next set of lights you have gone to far

Park up on the left and enter the site to the left of the old gate

The site is huge so lots to explore

(See attached map)

There are other ways in from the canal side as well

 

 I have a basic map on a word doc but dont know how to attach it to this?

[liamb2387]

Cheers Barry. I think I know where you mean

[mickturnip]

We go to thorns park fella ...a right laugh

[Leeb]

This is what the ground there looks like.

Found a good place in Middleton park woods

Chaps, anyone used the heathland just o/s Warmfield on the A655? Spotted some plane fliers there on Sunday...looks like a great spot. Shall check it out when it isn't pouring down.

[liamb2387]

Iv not been down there myself noj. Are you living in Wakefield now then?

[Noj]

Aye, now in Playa Del Normanton. Quiet.....very quiet....

Driven past that spot a few times now, open land with some natural contours for grabbing air etc...just waiting on a rain free day to head over and check it out in person. There seems to be a foothpath from the verge by the main road that leads onto the open land. Certainly big enough for largescale bashing, tho ours won't be out again til next year.
