As far as i am aware, there is a bluebell in leeds, not sure where abouts tho Frown

It is supposed to be an ok/good spot, but having never been, would not like to say either way!


For building in York, the stilingfleet spot on the cycle path was probs the only place to build!
Actually in York, there is one tiny place near clifton moor, but dont waste your time trying to find it!!

The best bet, in my opinion, would be to get The bike outlet or Fulford cycles behind this and then get a place set up with the council!
I say hose 2 bike shops as the bike outlet is deffinately pro-FR/DH/DJ, as you will know if you have ever visited. And the guy that owns Fulford cycles, Mr. (unsure of 1st name) schumacher is into the DH/FR scene!


Hope it helps!!

If going for York, get on with a good bike shop, as i said above, the bike outlet or fulford cycles would be the best to get in with.

Then, with there help, we could have a look at getting the council to give us a spot, all hat would have to be done is to sign a disclaimer or similar, to say we wouldnt try and sue if we fell and broke our necks or what ever!!

or an exact location, no ideas!! there used to be a spot at brayton barf, but that died Frown


Which Bluebell?

Also, a friend says that the bluebell in leeds is near/in shadwell!

the only problem with getting land from the council is all the chavs that turn up

finding some land and chipping in money for rent or whatever sounds like a good idea

about the bike shops, i did work experience with fulford cycles and am generally quite friendlyy with the guys, there into both XC and DH really, but they are really nice guys and if they think there is a decent cause im sure they will help, but we need a spot, we should all contact the council or do somthing on the cycle path

yeah, chavs are not good!
However, anyone aware wha the going rate for a good size plot of land is these days?

Being clever, ideally, waiing till this recession hits properly, then go speaking to some friendly farmers, and say we wld pay a bit of rent on land would be a good idea as money is getting very tight now for the majority!

Ahh, the good ole' government, but thats another story!
