And look what is over the back fence....

Hammonds Pond BMX track Carlisle.

Because i was there with a camera, I thought I would take a pic or two.

Proper old school track, only used now by young kinds and me

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?

ORB · « **Reply #5 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

That would buy you a shed in my part of the country....

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....

Wow! Finding a house with a BMX track just over the fence is rare!,
but a house with two identical BMX tracks is even rarer!!! Hehe
