Little London Enduro Park; 10th May (East of Worscter)

Planning to go to the above on 10th May. There's not much information about, but it's supposed to have a reasonable range of different surfaces/conditions, etc.
Unlikely to be space in my van unfortunately, but I'm sure if a few southerners (or where-ever) are interested, a van could be hired for the day or something.

Will try and get some more details. Shouldn't cost too much.
As ever, all welcome.
If you want to give off-roading a go, might be able to arrange use of a bike to have a play about on for a bit. I believe they have some 'beginner loops' etc so you don't get David Knight using you as an extra obstacle!

When you say 'unlikely to be space' do you mean 'Unlikely to be space because MarJay and Bendy's bikes will be in the way, the pair of freeloading vanhogs!'?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I'm sure it says no bikes over 250cc on the link, because of safety and enviromental issues?
Confused

That's no quads over 250cc I believe Smile

... ie they don't mind kids have a play about on small quads, but they don't want 150hp turbo Banshees ripping up the track and chucking it in the next field Smile

Ok, some details:
Is on from 10-2. £20 entry for the main track.
3 mile track, but will take a while to do it, so expect a fair bit of different and twisty stuff, I presume.

Must have reasonable exhausts - no silly-loud ones, road legal for 4 strokes, I reckon.

I'll probably have a van-space from Reading if anyone does want to come who can't get their bike there.

Can't make this as the 250 is dead at the moment.

Plus I'm off to pick up something else hopefully.....

Id love to come but need to get my bike done and get my A2 licence. Does it happen often or is it a 1 off? Thumbs Up

G · The Voice of Reason Joined: 02 Feb 2002 Karma :

Have a look at the link. It happens twice a month or so.

Obviously you don't really *need* your licence, you just need to be able to get your bike there.

Why would you want to ride down - if you've got half-decent tyres on for the off-roading, then the on-road will be terrible.

This is the reason that I did my car test - so that I could get more-fun bikes to places that I can ride them with a lot less hassle Smile

Oh and may be able to DJR, you'd have to be at mine for 8am at the latest. Will let you know later today or tomorrow.

Put some decent effort in over 4 hours and I suspect you'll be quite glad of a car to relax in.

2006 _p1 · Crazy Courier Joined: 15 Aug 2006 Karma :

Yeah i guess. Probably go at the end of may then. Got to get my rs done and sold so il be busy at weekends.

Will you be going at the end of may G?

Oh yeah you have the address for the place?

G · The Voice of Reason Joined: 02 Feb 2002 Karma :

I don't know, depends what else I got on.

Haven't got an address yet, but they tell you which town's it's near if you want an idea of where it is.

DJR; there's van space for your bike, but not for you, I'm afraid, as my van only sits 3. If you did want to come, you'd have to have your bike at mine for 8, but not sure it's worth it really.

Should be good fun. Shame i carnt go tomorrow!

Was quite fun. Despite it having been sunny for a while, was still very muddy there! The track wasn't that amazing as far as variety of terrain goes, but did have a few interesting bits.

Probably best avoided by 'beginners' though, as there's lots of bits it's easy to get stuck and in general the sufarce is fairly slippy.
I definitely wasn't feeling too happy to start with, but stuck with it and got the pace up a bit, though was still one of the slowest people there - though that doesn't bother me.

Road legal cans wasn't such a good thing because as I confirmed, my Husaberg definitely /doesn't/ like the road legal can and was a complete pig to start.

A good day out, but probably better to try somewhere else if you're a bit more cautious.

Nice. Hopefully i will be there at the end of this month.. see what its like..

Would you go again G?

G · The Voice of Reason Joined: 02 Feb 2002 Karma :

Probably will at some point. But no on the Hussy with that exhaust unless I change the jetting, however.

Might have a look at 'enduroland' sometime.

2006 _p1 · Crazy Courier Joined: 15 Aug 2006 Karma :

Oh ok cool. Where is enduroland?

G · The Voice of Reason Joined: 02 Feb 2002 Karma :

Somewhere along the A43 towards the M1 I think, I'm sure google will help you out Smile
