I was going to suggest The Shed  :daumenhoch: I was born & lived around that part of the coast until about 10yrs ago. There's a lot of little outdoor parks dotted about as well. Anybody know if the Peterborough park is still open?

The KL track was dozed years ago & housing stands there now  :( fair amount of Trails about, but probably unrideable this time of year.

I'm unsure about Peterborough - think they closed down the og one to pop housing on the site? In fact I know they did 'cos I went out to have a look at the archaeology where it was.....Think they've got funding for a new one though (don't know if it's been built yet).

Track-wise you're a bit stuffed, but not as bad as some places. There's Sloughbottom just on the outskirts of Norwich which is a good track. Most of them are in the southern half of East Anglia though, like Braintree and Codham Park. Bury St Edmunds has a pump track at the outdoor skatepark (adjacent to Asda) where I recently managed to fook a Peregrine Super Pro rim  :D

Time-wise for The Shed - weekends are stuffed full of the old scoots, evening's are pretty good but I reckon they'll get packed again as it's half-term next week...

There's a few trails kicking around as well, and like Fug. said, quite a few smaller outdoor parks in villages (Dereham being one). And yeah, the trails aren't in the best of nick this time of year :daumenhoch:
