John Butler Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hey all. Looking for places and people to run with in the South Wales area. And west Bristol too if needs be. Nothing serious or competitive. Just a bit of fun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Plenty of crawlers running in Bristol and surrounding, not that many bashers from what i can tell. If you find people running in the bridgend area, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Bridgend is, there's not many places to run - i usually play around by myself in Ogmore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Butler Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 Ah fair enough. What kind of spot is it you run in ogmore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Around the dunes and beach. If you search for the following coordinates on google, and put it to "satellite", you can see the spot/region. There, and slightly east across the river. Where you from anyway? 51.474603, -3.639057 Edited October 21, 2019 by m4inbrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Butler Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 That looks amazing!! I'm deffo game for going there!! I have a trophy truck so it should be right at home! I'm in Newport. But originally from Portsmouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If i'm not entirely mistaken, there is/was a race track somewhere near Newport as well. And yeah, it's fun in Ogmore - also great for crawlers. Sadly currently i don't have a decent basher - my wife is getting me a Kraton for christmas though, and that'll be fun in Ogmore.

John Butler Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 I've combed the area. Only BMX tracks really. And they're not too good. The only track I've heard of, got shut down was on a farmer's land which the farmer was quite happy letting bashers use, but once the council got wind they wanted to start taxing it 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 That could've been the track i meant, "being on farmers land" rings a bell. I looked around 6 years ago, so it's entirely possible it went poof by now. Once i get my new basher (and the weather plays nice), i'm absolutely up for a session.

John Butler Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Nice! Would prefer it in nitro though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I had a nitro truggy, couldn't get rid of it fast enough - it's not for me. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Butler Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Fair enough. To each his own:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Exactly, i don't judge - just me personally, it's too much hassle. I enjoy driving more than wrenching, and i also enjoy driving when i want to drive. You bashing a nitro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Butler Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Yer me neither and yer running a nitro. It was a stock FTX TORRO. But slowly upgrading as parts become worn or damaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
