I think we need an outdoor track in North Yorkshire

Could people start asking around for land in the Harrogate area for any PRIVATE land that may be available for developing a permenant outdoor track.

Considerations to think about are: -

Location to local housing, ie noise and local vandals
Drainage issues ie flooding
Has to be big enough for parking also
May need to put up a toilet block or potra loo
Camping option may be nice but thats probably long term

The BRCA has lots of advice on setting up tracks and dealing with local councils, offers of help have been mentioned in other posts

I know there is lots of land about, if U see something please dont just post "THIS LOOKS LIKE NICE SPOT", ask the land owner first, be realistic when you describe what is needed, I'm looking to establish a perm outdoor track.

I am prepared to invest a lot of effort and time and some cash into this if we can find a good location, I appreciate this is not a one man effort and if I can get the ball rolling I would look to turning this over to an exsisting club or forming a new club and getting other people helping and investing.
