Couple of my favourite spots,

White Horse, nr Thirsk:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=white+horse&sll=53.957702,-1.082286&sspn=0.140797,0.308647&g=york&ie=UTF8&ll=54.223791,-1.213067&spn=0.002107,0.004823&t=h&z=18

MX Track / Wasteland, Poppleton York:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=york&sll=54.215668,-1.284199&sspn=0.067453,0.154324&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=York,+North+Yorkshire,+United+Kingdom&ll=53.974562,-1.125246&spn=0.002199,0.004823&t=h&z=18

Also a nice field and recreation area in my hometown Easingwold, just north of York up A19, that has a small skatepark (hard to get run ups because of fences but okay for 1/10th, 1/8th).

Be good to know who else is in this area to meet up, share your spots to. :) I'm free this weekend I think, Sunday I'm building a ramp, so if anyone fancies meeting up maybe in the afternoon to give it a go that would be fun.

Otherwise 30/31st end of month?

There is a couple of us in York (yanto, wol ;)) so can get something frequent going.

I'm quite close (Bradford) I can't drive but have free train pass so I could use that if the bashing area is near a train station lol.

I've just got back into R/C after being off for a few years (i'm 18 now-started when I was 12). Currently i'm running a boat in a local lake I found a few days ago :P and my rustler and mad bull around my yard :)

Probably won't be able to due to not having a car but I may aswell post lol :whistling:

Yikes! Haven't seen you for ages, welcome back. :)

What R/C do you have now?

I'm usually Leeds way most weeks, there's a few of us off the forum who do RC that way! I'll be in touch. :good:

Hey!

I'm suprised you remember me from all those years ago to be honest! Just checked my join date and damn, doesn't feel that long ago! Good old days where the msuk forum was integrated onto the website lol.

Currently I have a traxxas rustler and mad bull both pretty stock and just got a traxxas stampede! Have other bits and bobs, but are considering selling them to buy a brushless motor or something that will make my cars go really fast! At the moment a silver can tamiya motor with 3300 battery feels really fast to me as i've not driven them for ages!

Also have a boat which I use on a local lake/pond :)

Everything seems to have brushless nowadays, it's hard to catch up with all the advances lol :confused:

There must be loads more around here, as otherwise modelsport would be not have their real life shop still going! Do you have an ad placed in there about bashes and stuff?

Anyway thanks!

Regards,

Pete.

Me and mate used to do the hobby together then the traitor moved down south.

Really want something petrol, I keep looking for that perfect bargain. Keeps eluding me though.

Let me know if you get anything on Oliver's Mount.
