Wow! That looks impressive.

There's a few of us in the north essex/south suffolk area needing a dedicated off road track to race on now our club has gone into hibernation...

We run 1/10th electric, is the track suitable for these - its certainly big enough - I'm thinking 7/8 laps in 5 mins

Hi Mark
I was talking to a couple of off road racers at the weekend and they said they had tried to find the track but could'nt. As I live fairly local I said I would see if I could find the address. Coming from Gt Wigborough the sat nav took me left into Chuch Road, then into Peldon Road. I went up and down this stretch to the end a couple of times, asked a couple of locals, they said, never heard of it, and gave up. Are there any better directions, is it opposite something? is it in Peldon Road? You could be losing prospective racers.
Regards
Bob

comments have been made that some satnavs do not take you the correct way.
the access is at butterfly lodge farm on the mersea rd. the peldon rd does go right behind the track. track is located next to the grey wind turbine that sticks above the trees.
hope this helps.
