I think the gate is open all the time. It's not like they (the FC?) are going to lock it every night and open every morning. Or at least i wouldn't have though so

there is a small bit of the field at the bottom of the track (first gate is open, 2nd always locked) b4 te second gate which is cordoned off. i.e no corn, we park there when we ride. I can't see you being in the way there, unless they are using that as the finish. best to check with pearce first though!

Best to ring Pearce tomorrow and ask, best to be sure rather than guess and sit in a layby for hours!

yup, I think it was used as overflow. right by where the uplift is. but again its best to check with pearce. Can't see a problem with it, its fairly dry atm too, nothing like rd2.

Bloody good track!
Just returned from there, and it was very dry and dusty. Let's hope it stays like this for the weekend.

Got a lift to the 'official' car park from my mum then got picked up near the uplift point at the bottom.
There were quite a few vans and stuff near the uplift point so I think it is ok to park there.

Yeah had a great day up there today, that track is so much fun, and was soooo loose in places.  Stuipidly hot today too, but we still got about 5 runs in or so (did quite a lot of sessioning - 7 times at the top, about 3 at the bottom, something like that anyway).
