Sounds good. Is it mainly moto-x based though? I may have a look once it's up and running.

Went down there today on the enduro track, dead good, mostly sandy stuff with bermed corners & 'dunes' to go up & down & also a but of a twisty woods section. About 3 or 4 miles a lap. If you wanna go check up on facebook (link in a previous post) if you can because there is not always an enduro track laid out. I think at the moment it's there on saturdays & bank holidays 10am-4pm. I'm so pleased that this great venue can be used again for messing about on dirt bikes & legally too :D

Sadly not operating anymore. Following the story on their facebook site they applied for planning permission to change it's use for motorsport but instead the landowner is doing summat with coal extraction. Bugger, it had been my plan to practice here all winter.
