Nick Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 WHAT IS IT? We are hosting an informal meet for crawling, all are welcome to this event who have a scale / crawler RC - there is space to use other RCs but you will probably be missing out the main fun! We will be setting some small/fun challenges on the day. Maybe some little prizes... maybe just for an ego boost. WHERE IS IT? The car park is bang in the middle of the action! See the Google Maps marker here: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Penistone+Hill+Country+Park,+Haworth,+Keighley+BD22+9RH/@53.8233865,-1.9701215,660m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x59cc7765be98759!8m2!3d53.8234585!4d-1.9694585 Haworth, Keighley BD22 9RH There is other parking nearby, which is about a 5min walk away, so we shouldn't have issues with parking. It is a hilly/rocky environment, so good footwear is recommended. WHEN IS IT? Sunday 29th May at 10am. There is no "end" time, it's a public place, you can stay as long as you like! 🙂 We hope to be there for a few hours. PLEASE NOTE Please be mindful of other people, this is a popular area for walkers and dogs Bring some grub and drinks, there are no stores or toilets here. The nearest town of Haworth is 5min drive away and is lovely, plenty of stores/cafes if you want to pop out for lunch. Leave the place as you found it, be respectful Lets relax and enjoy ourselves! 😄 Cheers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many gate markers do you have? I'm wondering if we just put them up as we see good places, I'll be there earlier though just to get nested if you want to come for just after 9 perhaps. (also explain how gate markers work for us none-crawler folks do we just have to drive through them?) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(also explain how gate markers work for us none-crawler folks do we just have to drive through them?) I have 16 pairs of markers, they are numbered , so what we do is use them the pre define a set course, usually over a kinda 15-20 metre area, sometimes we will set out a course and when its been completed by every one move it a little. I take it you built your crawler now Edited April 28, 2022 by Jack Reacher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
