Hiya -

Im in Andover (Hampshire)... there's a few others here as well but we don't race just bash. We've found an old BMX track in basingtoke which is great for learning how to jump & generally have a bit of fun.. Does anyone know of any tracks or good hilly areas near andover or Newbury?

Cheers

Steve

Well there are tracks in Guildford and Slough (Sluff). Quite local to Basingstoke (Voted most interesting place in the UK 1996) (NOT!). I laugh coz I have friends in Bracknell)

I think it probably is! (just off the A339?) Great fun although the council need to get out there and cut the grass at the moment!

Cheers

http://www.remoteworld.co.uk/images/map.gif

because that would only show him the track location:eek:
sending him to the website will give him the opportunity to read all about the club & see pictures of the track! even take a look at the calendar for the next event:eek:

I'm from Bicester near Oxford. A mate of mine (from Wallingford near Oxford) can round and saw my Hyper 7 Pro, instantly took a liking to it and got straight onto Modelsportuk and ordered one as well, he's just managed to break in his engine having learnt from my experiences. We're both looking to find a track somewhere in the area.

RE: the u.k
 
Slough or Oakley?

theres only one track at Slough so i guess you mean Oakley;)
its just after the Mitsubishi garage on the left as you're heading out of Basingstoke towards your direction!

North East Swindon. Is that close enough. But there are some great bashing spots up in the Chiterns. 30 mins either way really.

RE: the u.k
 
Yeah up by the turpike roundabout on the A419.
