deejayy2k Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) On the way home I saw this place - big green @ thetford where there was a guy flying a rc plane - it looked kinda fab, the big field is kinda broken in two with a 1m ramp, grass all smooth cut, would make a pretty good jump - parking was available too, and it's close enough to Thetford for walking in to get lunch - maybe a good place for a future meet. thats handy for me its right behind my house the carpark is gravel to.theres a spa at the petrol station about 2 mins walk from there there is also a bit hidden across the road from that. also sunday not an idea as there is five aside football played there but you could always go just further up from there.

willb Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Loads of replies Glad a few of you made it out. Sorry I couldn't attend. Flu has hit me pretty hard If anyone fancies another meet up soon let me know and I'll arrange it. My FG Monster hasn't had a chance to run there yet and my 8ight could do with an outing!

snapper Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 to be honest though I am not sure if we are allowed there , My brother in law used to ride his bike here and was regularly chucked off by the police ! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazza1304 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 It only says no motorbikes, there's no sign saying no R/C's (that I saw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebh123 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yeah, no signs about RC's. Great spot though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejayy2k Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) it will probably be owned by thetford forest forestry commision which do not allowed motor bikes on their land other than their own they seem ok with RC's though me my brother and a friend were up high lodge when one of they guys from forestry came up to us thinking we were motorcyclists (sp) said as long as we didnt cause any damage, funny thing is shortly after he left a load of kids past us on motorbikes. might have a prob with the rugby club guys though Edited October 20, 2009 by deejayy2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcsammy Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 yeah sorry i also couldnt make it, neither the RCs or 1/1 where working that weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willb Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 I've been there loads of times and have had the forest commission people come and watch us bash around. The crossers don't mind us being there either. It's not like we're doing any damage to the place apart from shedding the odd drive shaft or two! I'll make another thread (today/tomorrow) and think of new dates. Weather has got a bit crap over the past couple of days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 "Weather has got a bit crap over the past couple of days " Your not wrong there ! The weather here in sunn Haverhill is really misserable ! Guess winters here ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willb Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 I guess so, but heres hoping for a couple of days of clear skies. I don't mind bashing in a light drizzle though. It'll make the ground better for grip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
