Got my ramp all setup at the Leightons but the landing ramp is insufficient. Need to get some big earthmoving equipment to shift some sand and clay...quotes so far are crazy expensive! Anyone have access to a big orange dozer and care to help?

cheers

Sorry about taking this a little off topic but what's the deal with leightons in terms of quads riding there?Have had a few mates who ride up there on bikes but never heard of quad's riding up there and was wondering if anyone know's what the deal with them is...

Fine as far as im aware but pay to call and check, dont know that the MX would be suitable and not a hell of alot of trail riding but still all good. The place is getting a bit over run though so Grant is looking at setting up a sign in shed with pay per ride etc.

I consider I can reply on their behalf as they have only just left our place.They only have the MX track to ride on. Its not open to ride on the farm and is basically closed due to the weather and the water ruts. In other words its getting trolleyed and they are quite concerned as to who uses it.
Its not a public track sorry.

Cheers for making things clear Tony.
Grant is a bloody good bloke and I think he finds it hard to say "No" to anyone so easy to get the wrong idea about whether the place is open to the public or not. Reminds me, I owe him a box of bourbons.
