I guess about 400m, looks like top gear on a 500, it has rolling undulations that should make it fun  :-)

Hi John,
Looks fantastic. Is this using some of the Sunday Vinduro track from the Easter HBBB?
Cheers, Grahame

I'll be out again about 10am tomorrow (Sunday) to do a little cleaning up & refinement. Part of the track is still blocked with trees and severe ditches, so we won't be able to bust any laps tomorrow, but I'm hoping for maybe next weekend.

I must say a huge thankyou to long-time Caretaker at Broadford 'John Coleman', he was there at sunrise (in his own time!), with the Bobocat, clearing parts that I had laid out.

In a time where all we seem to hear about is track closures, clubs folding or diminishing it is refreshing to see something like this evolving. Good work John I can't wait to hear how this goes.
