July generally isn’t too busy so I’m hopeful I should be able to make Guildford. Manchester may be a possibility, depends when it is.

I'm looking at nearby tracks - anyone local got any suggestions?

There's also a new track being built in Mayford, so I'm trying to find out if it'll be finished in time. If none of those work out, I'll cast the net a little further afield. It turns out that a standard Google search in this case is not as good as using satellite view on Google Maps
StuH Jan 2018 4:52pm, 22 Jan 2018 2,078 posts	Quote Pin StuH Ah yes, the Mayford (in Woking) track is attached to the new Hoe Valley School which I believe will be opening in September, and it will also be the new track for Woking AC whose current track has been earmarked for housing. Looking for little red ovals on satellite view? A bit like looking for the Higgs Bosun on FP!

Am optimistic about this one. wallboard.biositesystems.com
