A day or so with a JCB to scrape off the vegetation and expose the stone again would get that track back to it's old self. You want to get onto the local Council about it!

how much for a house with that view?
Title: Re: Went to value a house today....
Post by: ORB on September 08, 2005, 11:40 AM
its a cool track, the start gate is well steep and the table top that you can see used to be as big as a house.

Shame there are not a few more local riders, a rew comp 3's over the top of that grass and it would be gone in no time.

Oh, the house is a 3 bed detached bungalow with garage and two stores and I am putting it on the market for £165000

And here is the lake that gives it its name, its about 40 meters to the right of the track, i wonder how many bikes are in the bottom of it?

I know I have done a few Ghosties into it myself....
