Spoke to my neighbour who has lived here about 17 years this afternoon.
Seems the local farmer (livestock) is 100% anti-motorbikes on his land.
So my idea for getting a small section of land sublet to put some obstacles on for trials playing seems to have died before it begun.
Not that it will stop me from looking elsewhere close-ish to home for a place to set up a small practice and play area.
With a bit of imagination and some sweat and tears one can put together a nice "Novice to Clubmans" type playpen.
In the mean time, lets see what you have at home, or on your farm, or secret play place.
My garage is behind the bushes at the end of the garden, and I know Nicola would not let me use the lawn for any sort of bike play (can't even wash the car on the lawn as it is soft and fragile)
If you look beyond the garage you can see the bush where I had hoped to get some sort of obstacle course set up, it also has a stream running through.
Surely loads of this fine control can be practiced ina restricted space.
My back yard.
Currently looks like this, and the fire wood pile is now behind the garage, drying out for next winter.
So please do add your obstacles and suggestions of what to build on here.
Clearly, this is novice and clubmans territory, but please do add , even if you are the Dougie Lampkin of your parish.
