i took the kids to the Hop Farm in paddock wood near maidstone kent today, there used to be a track there in the early eighties, anyway while the kids were messing about on the rides i asked some of the staff about the track and was told it was still there. so off i ran in the direction pointed out through some woods to find........................ yep you got it not a lot. the area is now used by tanks when they have the war and peace event there, just a few lumps and bumps is all thats left. major disapointment.

Albury, near Stansted in Essex.
Upwell, Near Kings Lyn an indoor equestrian center and also a very cold out door track.
There was a second track at Ipswich, on a farm that belonged to a TV stunt man. all knackered cars about with cannons in to make them flip. Worst track ever, starting gate off the side of a lorry, but funnily enough the only place I got a first in final.

I've added the Eastleigh (Southampton) track. I was gonna add the Weston Shore track (Southampton) but couldn't pinpoint it. I guess I could add it and adjust it later.

Slough - 51.494988,-0.583858

Does anyone know anything about this track just off the M4?

I fancy a wobble tomorrow morning and this one is dead close to me, just wondered if it was private/club etc?

The Slough track was great! The 1986 world champs was held there.

I thought it had been dug over, but it looks like it is still there.

Also wonder what that little track is next to it - deffo looks like a BMX track - but how many corners?

Last time I passed the Slough track it appeared rideable. The little track next to it is almost certainly the Radio Controlled Car Club track that was there when I went for the last ever full meeting organised by Brixton BMX Club about 7 years ago. Unfortunately because of its remote location the track became the target of crossers and idiots who broke into the container and trashed it - familiar story but enough to put anyone off trying to maintain it. Shame, but that's the fate of many tracks from the '80s and, dare I say, the potential fate of the rash of new tracks springing up in the wake of the Olympics. Humps

Noticed another track slightly north east - is that a Moto-x track?
