Dadon Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Maybe it is a good time to put our knowledge together and compile a list of good places for bashing, racing, drag racing and anything between in Northants area.

Bigjimknickers Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) OK I'll add Oxshott woods as my favorite spot. Oxshott woods off the A244 about a mile from the A3, small car park on the right. Large oval for 1/5- 1/8 Smaller track area with some jumps & hills perfect for 1/14 upwards to 1/8. Please note, I have seen police here but have yet to be moved on as I run a mix of nitro but mostly electric. Oh & its very sandy which is not good for cars! Sorry! I thought it was a general post didn't read the north hands bit. I'll get my coat. Edited April 29, 2014 by Bigjimknickers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super sharp shooter Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Sixfields Stadium, Northampton, NN5 5QA Sixfields overflow car park Flat gravel Field next to the car park Flat grass/mud 1/10-1/5 scale Little Brickhill, Milton Keynes MK17 9LJ Bowbrickhill woods has a track going through it called sandy lane and is a great place to bash. It's used by 4x4s so only 1/8-1/5 off road only. It's very sandy and great fun. Edited April 29, 2014 by super sharp shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off Stamford Road, Bath Road and Weekly Glebe Road Four huge fields near to each other. Short grass and suitable for I'd say 1/14th - 1/5th Parking next to or on the actual field Chavs to race on mini bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadon Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) If we all pull together then we actually could create GPS map with all spots. For now we can do our bit for the Northants. To make a life easier to find those spaces please provide more accurate addresses including nearest postcodes. spots updated!!!
