Dave I know nothing of this, although I think I may have stumbled across the Slough track back when I was unfortunate enough to have been renting a place a few years back over there :( is it near upton court park? saw something in the distance when I was attempting to do some exercise once :shocked:
Never even heard of Odiham but will have a look - no chance of tempting you out for a roll about when the weather improves??
-
don't know of any place names,all i can tell you is Slough track is slap bang by the M4,literally the other side of the hedge.Odiham is within the old road system by one of the M3 junctions.Yep,when the weather improves a roll around at something like Wargrave track,see if we can get Tobytyke over as well.

that sounds like it - just had a quick google and think I have it - never posted a map link but let's see if this works....

wargrave sounds like a plan! in the meantime let me know if you fancy meeting up for a pint :daumenhoch:

if your referring to that big wide track,i think that may be a moto-x track,the old Slough track is just to the right(a tad more towards London-the spindally thin thing) with what looks like an R.C track to it's right.

There's a new one just finished in Lower Earley. Looks similar to Wargrave in size. Probably be checking it out when the weather improves.
