hebby Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) As above stumbled across this place whilst viewing google earth so took a drive up and low and behold its a MTB Trail Jumps, Ramps, and tracks so went home grabbed the Vorza and took the lad with his BMX and bashed the Vorza till it broke like a true North west basher stylee Anyway enough of the talk and onto the pics, postcode and some vids ( just uploading ) BROKE! Heres the place https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=uppermill+quarry&ll=53.544196,-2.014124&spn=0.011207,0.033023&hq=quarry&hnear=Uppermill,+United+Kingdom&t=h&fll=53.544273,-2.014039&fspn=0.011207,0.033023&z=16 And postcode is OL3 6LT ( head for the golf club ) and its second gate on your left before the golf club and theres enough space for a few cars to park Oh forgot to mention theres a walk like the other quarry but its not as steep but is a slight bit longer but hey you get the pot of gold at the end of the yellow brick road Edited August 27, 2013 by hebby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willashcroft Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Nooooooooooo. Please don't run RC's on the ramps, I've spent absolutely hours up here digging along with the other local lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willashcroft Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 After a shedload of effort, we've finally got the council on board to help keep these jumps for MTB'ers, as they were all planned to be flattened. The main line (Far left in pictures) is what we've spent the most time on, and it's not really possible for RC's to even be ran on them. (I've thought about it myself) ?

willashcroft Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Haha oh Hebby It's a good spot for RC's, don't get me wrong, but the jumps are kinda for MTBers, A lot of the lads who ride up there know and have ridden with Hebby's brother themselves!

hebby Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 No disrespect to ya mate and all the hard work you have put in but if its suitable for MTB then im pretty sure an electric rc car is NOT going to make a blind bit of difference And if it bothers ya mate i will gladly put some effort into helping to maintain the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's digging season! The jumps have had loads of sun on them this year, Literally only just managed to build them before it arrived. It is a top spot though, much better views than in a park/field!
