Yea, there is another way in, I know me and buzz scouted it out, it is bumpy but not impassable, I'm sure everyone could get down, its not ideal but it does get us right next to sand, he could always take spades and fill the big holes with soil from sides so its easier on cars

hpoe so mate

[BUZZ!!]

the barsteads...the only other way now is down past the rugby club,its a bit rough but its passable with care.

ive been down that way a couple of times lately on my bike.... is that the plan for tomorrow then???

[wayne_halifax]

Can u show us the route on google maps

[banners]

+1 on what Wayne said please.

Us in the ikkle cars may struggle a bit, if it's where I tried last year I got scared not far after the golf club.

Please bear in mind, the Police have said they have no problem us being there but we don't have permission off the land owners. I just hope it dries up a bit for tomorrow, it's rank in Nottingham, raining on and off most of the day

[Ziggy122]

hmmmm - i'd be curious tooo

Ziggy

[BUZZ!!]

[Leo]

I won't be this time, shame really as last bank holiday was the last time I used the Baja.

[b_hawk111]

How rough are we talking with this track? If i were to come ill be on my Bandit, so any ideas if i would make it?

[wayne_halifax]

Way point map as well please as I can't make it tomorrow and will be going another day this week

[BUZZ!!]

if the track is dry then i reken you would be ok,, its not stopped raing today though so it will be muddy with a fair few large puddles...

a land rover would be the best choice of veihcle

Haha, if I had a landrover I would take it, if i had a car i would take it! im stuck with the bike though so might come and give it a shot

how long is it roughly?

[BUZZ!!]

half a mile ish.. maybe

[b_hawk111]

hmm, ill see what the weather is like in the morning

[walters]

if its to mad to get to look like a new bash site what aout the one aiden find

[BUZZ!!]

hmm, ill see what the weather is like in the morning

when the track turns from tarmac to dirt it drops downhill.. not steep... its at the bottom were the mud and rougher stuff starts..

then its a gentle climb up which is also wet and muddy but once your near the top the track turns supriseingly good;

Cool thanks for that, I recon it could handle it, a crosser would be ideal but im sure my nice road tyres could handle it

As i said, see what weathers like, its 25 odd miles from me so got to make it worth my while

Well there's always Bevercotes at a push

[BUZZ!!]

Well there's always Bevercotes at a push

bevercotes is ok but i like it on the sand at the desert.... theres a place in warsop we could try some time..,on oakfield lane just past the council rubbish depot

it was a motorcross track many years ago but its dissused now.. i think it might of been a small sand quarry many many years ago...

so what is the plan tomorow then?? are we meeting up before driving down the new road to the desert

[banners]

I'm still planning on meeting you at 11, we'll go from there. It's like an adventure as well as a bash

[walters]

tesco i think but steve will be back on later if not tomoz morning

just seen you steve lol
