1a2bcio8 Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I spent 25 years of my life in Swindon, I've only just moved away from there to Bristol.There's not a massive amount of things to do, especially if you have any diverse interests although that's not entirely true. Yes, people do criticize Swindon a fair amount, I can understand that criticism but I'm not willing to say it's so bad. It's fairly peaceful at least.The riding is ok, there are plenty of walls to get up but it's no Bristol. There are, I think, about 4-5 riders there these days.You are though, right in the middle of Bristol, Reading and Oxford, via the train. This was always very convenient. My gf works for Npower, they are very good company to work for it would seem. They continually sort her out, in all sorts of ways, so good luck with that.If you really want to ask some more detailed questions about the place including contacts for Swindon riders, I'm on msn - trials_rider_ben@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
