I posted this in the south east forum, though no interest it seems...
I'm going along to this, details here: https://enduroland.co.uk/

The closest thing you'll get to a proper Hare and Hounds enduro track without actually entering an event. Get more track time and less of a feeling you have to carry on when really knackered too Smile.

Well recommended by me from the last time I went, some pics of which are here: https://gees.zenfolio.com/p643108071

There was a lot more variation in terrain than you see in the pics, which were only taken in a few locations by Dusty (I was too busy having fun Razz).

If anyone needs a lift from Reading, or on the way ish, I can probably help out Thumbs Up.

Yep. Motocross bikes are allowed, as with all bikes they have to be under 96db, but no other restrictions.
Even the Hare and Hounds I've been doing allow 2 stroke motocross bikes that are quiet enough (only disallow 4 strokes because apparently they've had bad experiences with the typical people that ride them, not the bikes themselves.)

Wasn't amazing, so the non-attenders didn't miss much.
Their alternative location's course was quite short, bumpy and had lots of off-camber tight turns.
Must got a new rear tyre some time as it was starting to slide quite easily.

The one at the end of next month is at their usual venue and they're promising various new interesting sections!

Afraid not, though there was an 'event photographer there. I did actually take a bullet cam, but didn't get around to setting it up - too busy riding or collapsed trying to recover!
I was going to stick it on for the last time out, but they closed up before I got to go out again Sad.

Hello, I'm going to the event on 15th March near Milton Keynes.

Is the only way to book to send a cheque off?? Their website isn't very good I dont think.

I think it is for that event.

I'm doing the first 'proper' CHEC round then, so won't be going to that one.

Pics, this is me not doing anything amazing:

It's not always there - though the CHEC round I mentioned (15th March) is actually at leighton buzzard. There's a fair few muddy events in that kinda area anyway.
