I avoid the Midlands at all costs... 🤣

I've also heard stuff like.... You park on a field at bracken rocks.... then have to walk for a while to get to the trails themselves at recon...

I'm also guessing it's run for profit...

I'd be really tempted, but it's a good four hour drive from me.

Might have to wait till Recon g6 happens again. Anyone know if it will be happening this year?

PraetoR · March 12, 2021

I'd definitely make a trip out of it; drive south, stay in travel lodge, attend event.

Quick question: If I booked and paid, but was then called to work offshore (we get literally 1 week's notice, if we're lucky), would a refund be possible?

EDIT: Never mind! Just saw the price! Bargain! You can keep it my entrance fee, no refund necessary! :lol:

I'm not sure about refunds to be honest fella....

Best ask the event organiser Neil Brooklyn

Well as Recon is not happening this year then yes it is. Funduro is far better than the G6 and yes I have been to both.

That’s nice and close to me 🤗

bit like us northerners avoid the south then :rofl:

yep, you park/camp in a field, as for distance, well it’s no more than 50yards to race control then another 20 yards to the rocks, yes you can walk for over a mile whilst in the woods/courses, the site is also used for motorbike trials and it’s all natural stone etc. all on a hillside.

you should of come over mate, always good to put faces to names. :good:

as for it not being on this year, well that’s a given due to what we’re going through at the minute.

on the last point of the funduro being better than the g6, well I guess we will have to agree to disagree, although I will say, Brian Parker who’s is Mr. G6 has said that Bracken Rocks in his top five places WORLDWIDE.

Again, only my opinions which seem to be drastically different to this “newer” breed of scale crawler fanatics, lol

Anything electric can run.... There's a space for a basher area too

Does it cost a ticket to attend, but not partake? For example, my girlfriend will come along, just to be there and watch. Does she need a ticket as well?

Bix · March 15, 2021

Cracking event this, went last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’d say it was just as good as Funduro which considering it was SST’s first event is saying something. Events are about more than just the terrain for me, general atmosphere, friendliness etc all play a big part and the attitude of everyone at both these events was cracking. Everyone up for a laugh and enjoying each other trucks and generally having fun. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend either events 👍🏻

No charge for spectators no....

Spectators are encouraged to buy a couple of raffle tickets at £1 each.... A token gesture... Seeing as it's for charity and all... But is obviously optional... No obligation of course

Ah, drat! I was hoping to go both days!

Thanks for the response, we've booked for Sunday. :good:

willb · March 25, 2021

I'm booked in for both days :good:

walkbythesea · May 20, 2021

I wasn’t able to book on because my boss can’t confirm any time off for me until much nearer the time, but doEd anybody know if there’s any sort of reserve list for ticket availability or drop outs? Or indeed who I should speak to about the possibility?

You can turn up on the day and pay at the gate afaik, but they were also booked out so unsure exactly how that will work.
