Si Coe Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I was there but never got to the bit we run cars at because my lads wanted to run their boats on the lake. Unfortunately my youngest sunk his Magic Vee on only its second run and was devastated so we went home. I couldn't hear any RCs but there was a meeting at the track so all you could hear was them anyway. Got the lad a UDI Venom today to replace the Magic Vee and its awesome.

jdwafc Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 thought I'd mention while this is Wigan based, a facebook page I spotted ....Wigan RC Nitro, only about 20 members at the minute, but could be a decent way to get more from around the area in contact for meet-ups etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on let's get something planned. ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Too right. I was down there today with the boats. Brought the cars too but its a bit dull on your own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadleg Roberts Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Bad news about the 3 sisters. I took my lad over this morning and there were a bunch of diggers and tractors on the area, not to mention loads of workers. The entrance path was fenced off and it was obvious there was some sort of clearance or landscaping work going on. We drove around to the big car park on the bridleway and walked through the wood to the jumps, and had half an hour or so before a worker came over saying it was now a building site and we would have to leave. Much of the ground has been churned up by tractors aswell, so its looking grim for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Coe Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Whats the terrain like? I'm interested too, not on Facebook either but most importantly only have 1/10ths. I tended to find the main 3 Sisters area too bumpy for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
