pillin park in Norwich is good there is a bmx track with good berms to jump off.

also slough bottom park has a bmx track with massive jumps and 15ft high berms shock blowers but its awesome.

if you go to slough bottom you need to go early in the summer because they race there.

Where is Slough Bottom Park?

type Sloughbottom Park, Norwich (sloughbottom park) into Google images and that will give you the location and directions if you put where you are coming from.

went down there today, needs a damn good spruce up imho, we could hardly get any traction due to the covering of fine gravel all over the track, probably okay for 1/10 scale buggies and trucks but no really large enough for 1/8 monsters etc. No decent straights either..

OFF ROAD IN NORWICH. 

 

as for nitro and gassers they are much more an annoying thing in the fine city.

places like sloughbottom park and likes are starting to say no to rc. 

 

Off the beaten track : 

 

theres a small area just outside norwich called Costessey. 

and one place the local lads used to go was the norwich flyers bmx track that USED to be there ( its now at sloughbottom park)

along the very same lane is a wooldnad that stretches for about a mile or two along the river opposite, this leads down into what is called

Ringland hills  and a little more down is the river crossing and the swan public house.

 

ringland hills is where all the bikers and walkers head , its also a lovely place to RC

 

there used to be a few outdoor rc tracks but around the mid 90's they got abandonded and built on.

my local racetrack was behind the oval public house , now its a beer garden / bbq area.

 

the gravel pit that used to be up where the old BMX track was now become a lot smaller

and the land built on, the motorcross track was torn up and houses built. 

all places i used to hang out at as a kiddie on dirt bikes and with our grasshopper buggys.

 

Ringland is the best option for crawling and scaler off road, coupled with mousehold heath.
