Anything Happening Ainsdale Beach Any Weekend?

[HomerJHandley 6]

Just wondering for the north west people, i take mine up there when the OH is kite flying so if anything is doing on a weekend can try and get up there, spend some time bashing and the rest try and learn how to fly the kite!

The Nutters havent been there for a while, due to some idiots with petrol RC's the Rangers arent happy with a large number of people with RC's, an individual wont have an issue. We are, I believe, looking into sorting this out with them as Ainsdale is a great place to run cars.

I for one have to work this weekend so unfortunately couldnt make it, pity need to give my cars a run.

[HomerJHandley 6]

Not to worry, been there a few times with the clod recently and been good, cant wait to get back with the new batteries, a 10 minute slow runtime was ok but had to keep to flat stuff after the initial 3 minutes of power as it got stuck and had no clout to get out.

I was considering taking the Nitro thunder, but not sure how it would be with sand and if it will be more trouble then its worth with sand in all the running gear and possibly the rangers (it is noisy and the beach apepars to generally be quiet). At least with the clod there isnt anything major that can go wrong with sand.

how do the buggies run on the flat stuff on the hard and soft areas?

Have to keep an eye out for local bash's

The soft dunes will always be a problem for buggies, but they dont like you running there due to some rare wildlife of one variety or another. Reckon if you run your nitro you will attract negative interest from rangers. Stick to the electric and harder packed sand and you will have fun, either take a skate ramp or a spade for some jumps.

Have a look through some of the Nutters entries of our exploits at Ainsdale here while your at it why not join Nutters Sig if you are a subscriber?

Some video here too...

Hi all why not go to the old sand grouding works site at the north end off the town.It is left to nature no one goes there maybe the odd dog walker and no rangers it,s on the coast road good parking.It,s got hills big flat out area,s and piles off old concreat good for crawlers.Just a thought haven,t seen any meetings all summer which is a pity as we had some great meets last year.Anybody still want to get out as it has been very quiet of late ?

[BiggusDitchus 38]

Yes fella, dying to get out with all the cars, just not had a weekend off in ages!

[tynhead 1]

I'm up for a bash anytime. Got a location map for this spot Ade?

Would love to get some sand on my bajahopper now it's finished and my new axial crawler has yet to leave its box

In fact I haven't run anything since last time at Ainsdale, just bought, built and painted...

So yeah, anytime, anyplace

[BiggusDitchus 38]

I have a saturday off shortly if anyone is up for a meet. Ade here is the maps that may help, got a before and after of sandworks too.

Red circle is pretty much the location of the site!

Before they demolished site

And something how it should look now

A little further down the road, away from southport is this site on the right hand side of road.. parking doesnt look great its a track bmx bikers have used.

yes have been to the old sandworks when i had my savage xl it very good for bashing

word is they are turning it in to another bird watching area/ car park

but the bmx track is great for bashing/jumping been there once with the lunchbox very quiet and a lots of parking also a quiet little road for on road cars and a flat field just near for them brushless cars

need to get out for a bash as the new baby is taking all my time and sold alot of my cars now

[Ade the Blade 0]

Thanks Rich for the maps love to get out again soon let me know when you are free .The old bmx track is a great spot for freestyle jumps the only prob is when it,s been wet it,s a bog as the jumps are made out of mud and boy it sticks when it,s been raining i mean sticks i was there two weeks ago and the stampead wheels were twice there normal size due to wet clay goo .But went there this summer bone dry what a laff.Hi Moxy Don,t sell all your cars i did ten years ago big mistake i,am back and love this hobby keep at least one or two cars. The sandpits on the coast looks the best place for a meet.

[BiggusDitchus 38]

Looks like Im off a week on Saturday (14th November) who's up for an afternoon of shaking the dust off the cars at the old sandworks?

[tynhead 1]
