2018 Boat Race

Got it, I must admit I have not driven past the first roundabout for a while, normally take Oakhurst way, I can see the water now, it is on the new road into the housing estate, parking may well be an issue as well as a problem if a boat breaks down unless someone can bring a rubber dingy of sorts, I have just managed to get the Sea Commander up and running, having painted the hull by hand, not 100% finished but enough to sail, if I bother to go, as there are several questions that need to be answered, like is the original organiser going to turn up?, who owns the body of water? does he have permission to sail on the water, unless these are answered then I will continue to use Coate water boating area, as it is weed free and only 3ft deep.
enjoyment is important.

I dive past this area every day and there are 2 bodies of water either side of the road with a footbridge over them. The water is not very big (certainly a tiny fraction of the size of Coate water). if you use the map and go to satellite view you can see the water. My only concern is there is little or no parking in that area so might be a bit of a walk?

Well, no reply from Penfold63, no response to my email or the private message sent, even though I live only 5 miles away from the location, I have no idea where it actually is, I drive through that area quite often but have never seen a large body of water, so what to do? I don't fancy being Billy no mates.

My sentiments as well, I did send an email to Chris some two weeks ago, I will send him a private message, but he has not replied to my email so I may not get any response, it is not too bad for me as I only live 5 miles or so from the venue, but without a time and anyone else it will not be much fun

Time is approaching for this event.If you look on google maps
you will see a huge housing development,a farm,etc,etc.
cannot locate actual pond.
If this event is to work,we need to know exactly how to get there.

what a great idea! wish it wasn't so far, so anyone can turn up with an rc boat, but its a race, like a drag race? what's the format, I know its informal, but I'm wondering how it works, just draw lots to race, could be elec against ic, scale against, well anything! sounds like a load of fun👍 I'm interested....😉
