Hi mate, could be well interested but a couple of questions, what's the parking situation like? Safe, secure, off road, etc.

Do you have a goggle maps link of the area too? Pm it to me if you would rather but I'm part of clumberrcmeets too and we meet up every fortnight and run everything from vintage to trucks so I could get a few of us to you if it's suitable :thumbsup:

I'm no good with these dam ccomputers pal but what I'll do is take some pics while out tomorrow and I'll pop um on for you and others to take a look.

as for the parking we can park depending on how many come we can just about park were you wont, you can park were your bashing or what ever, or park at the lake car park, adventure park cafe there's always someone around the parking area to keep watch, if we buy sandwiches from them and keep um sweat im sure they won't mind the custom to, but i can get to where ever i go mycoffeees everywhere and iv never in the 36 years of living here have ever had my car or family car broken into, but you never no lol! im sure a good coffee for everyone isn't out of the question, ill pay! Come along maybe just meet up there im to mins away,

I have a slash, and tamiyas but mostly run scalers and crawlers.

The reason I asked for a link to Google is I know Worksop but only very little, so directions would be very useful, also have a bit of trouble getting about so being able to park as close to bash spot is a big plus for me too.

I have been to the marina a couple of times though and that's a great spot apart from dog bombs.....

Sounds promising though and wouldn't mind a trip out that way :thumbsup:

There's one particular spot in the same place in the woodyard, there's an old building that's still left standing and then there's about 2/3 acre of concrete, the building is the observation tower it's made for it, you have to remember though guys it's not marked out anywhere only were ive been, so your going to have to use your heads a bit and we'll come up with somthing in there ive got cones and markers, so that's road tyres if you wont to use them.

The off road stuff well that's everywhere there's open sections with nice jumps and + landing aswell, when you go up there's somthing to land on, in the right direction your landing, and there's a metal skate park near the cafe, that's the adventure park, quite a walk but there's good wheel chair access from the parking areas and most of the way around the place, in the wooded area it'sa bit hilly and some flat, Iif you put in the langold lake in Google you'll see the surrounding areas around the lake is where most off it is, but it's a bit deeper into the wooded areas where the baja stuff would be there's a really good gravel come dirt and tarmac for one track partentially it'll just need a few baja losi's sideways around it a few times and the track will be set, it's all marked out with little stumpy wooden post were put there 10/15 years ago to mark the car park out but its over grown over the years and it's just left us a purfect track for 5th 8th scale even small cars because some is gravel and i believe hard standings better for 10 scale and so on? I don't no, but all i no is you'll love it come along tell ya mates. I'll be there from 11.30 on and ill have my phone on at the ready, hope to see some one and I'll stick to the fuel for you two guys that got in touch first, but don't get thrashing the arse off it coz it's free 5l won't go far lol! Lol! I would lol!

Ok ill wait for that enjoy'[/quote

sorry matey the weather as been really bad here today and im hoping to get down there tomorrow and the weekend, so there should be plenty pictures to put on anyway I hope lol! And hopefully iv got a member coming to have a bash here and then we can have a chat about the place to see if there's anything we can do with it,

but it's really good there there's loads to do, like on road stuff, off road there's loads of off road, and in some bits of it you can incorporate it all into one big track i suppose as long as you can see the thing your controlling lol!

hope to see some more people turning up and I'llppost some pictures after the weekend,
