yep,that would do it......are you thinking sawley abbey ?

[NorthWestern]

yeah that's the one although the last time I went there things were all in black and white...  I can't remember if you can get near it on a bike to take a pic.

[NorthWestern]

pfft went to Norton Priory (which used to be part of an Abbey and has some ruins there - bit of a long shot) but couldn't get anywhere near the ruins etc


Took this though





Nice of the council to put up an example of fly tipping just in case you didn't realise...   I can confirm the mich PR3's work well over wet potholes

[hairnet]

[nick crisp]

Ah, sorry hairnet, that challenge already done this round. Seems I missed it on the last leaderboard, apologies  :o

And apologies to dazza, who won that one. Will update scores retrospectively (page 15).

You'll have to pick a different one, please.

[hairnet]

a sporting arena that doesnt use a ball or any type of bat  :lol

[NorthWestern]

Not sure if this qualifies as it isn't an "arena" in the modern sense....  I couldn't think of anything else here that would be an arena not featuring balls/bats, perhaps the biggest would be the Manchester Velodrome.  Most non ball grounds - athletics/cycleing here have closed/moved to the huge UCLAN sports complex and is more of a campus than an actual arena...


This is at Fishwick BMX track (a national race track) off London Road, Preston.  I was going to attempt a crowd pleasing backward 360 off the table top but alas I couldn't get the bike through that gate there....






The club used to be at Deepdale where my brother and I would take our BMX's, it was bulldozed to make way for a Sainsburys before reopening here in 2005 or so.  It is itself built on the old running track.

[stevierst]

Bloody  hell, don't leave your bike there at Fishwick for long, some bugger will rob it!!!
