Wherever you like really. The most well known place is Black Rocks in derbyshire (scale trucks and comp crawlers-be amazed!) and it was used at last years nationals, here's what the easier course for the 2.2s looked like http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_m...=64766&sid=169.

This year we hired a centre used for full size bike trials, so lots of natural rock through the woods on private land to crawl over. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_m...=77497&sid=297

Quite a few people have extended 'rockeries' in their garden, just so they can crawl over them. I have Windgather Rocks near Whaley Bridge as a test site, the rocks lean back so one day I'll have to have a go at trying to crawl up the thing. A northern crawl meet might be an idea, there's already a group of us in the North West who are always up for a meet.
