Could anyone tell me where the best place to find UK practice track listings?

Thanks

Here. It might help if you tell us where you are?

Yorkshire area, but also will travel 100s of miles if it's worth the effort.

Cheers.

The Bradford Trials web site has a list of practice gounds and maps to get there on their information page.

Take a look at www.bradfordtrials.co.uk

I practice at Back Cowm in Whitworth near Rochdale which covers a huge area and has lots of different terrain.

The last website (that shall remain nameless) had a "Places to Ride" topic. Any chance of that being included in Trials Central?

I have the opposite problem, 3 places to go and no one as keen as me to go with !!

The practice ground at Breakheart Quarry near Dursley in Gloucester looks very good. Anyone know if you you just show up and ride, or is it an offical practice area?

Same goes for the track you mentioned near Whitworth. Is it an official practice area?

Anyone know if the Flappit moor is still open near Howarth?

Thanks.

Quarry at Whitworth is legal and is open every weekend -

OK thanks, that's good news.

I'm amazed that there's no full listing on the web on where to ride in UK.

Take a look at mxtrax.co.uk, I think this is what trials needs too.

being some one involved (in a minor way) with mxtrax.co.uk let me put it like this

i seriously doubt any of you are doing this properly .....

is there a legal document that would stand up in court that absolves the owners of all responsibility upon injury in their property

yes and no - you need insurance (3rd part IIRC) to ride off road (as its still a public place under the road traffic act) AND the land owner (or promoter) needs public liability insurance. ie there is no such thing as a waiver saying "i won't sue". the real issue is the 3rd party cover against any one (walkers, etc) else rather than the riders as such.

ie you need to be paying *a* number per day that doesn't just go to the landowners back pocket

if you wanted to do it *properly* then perhaps

a) we (my club) just got a letter from ACU for official ACU practise event rates - there is a number for trials (haven't got it to hand) - anyway you could set up a club / use a club and run practise events - legally you'ld be covered...... etc, etc - you get the idea

:P you go to an insurance company such as Marsh and ask for their trials rates - similar to the above

- however realistically trials riders anoy few people, hurt even less so it impractical to go after such expensive / complex options as above

any questions fire away - we deal with this all the time on mxtrax with people wanting to set up mx practise tracks

rabie :snowman:

scarborough dmc have a excellent trials ground open every day(unless they have an event on) membership about
