Matt Vandart Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I have been watching hidden Britain a few times and have seen epic natural trials locations on it. Found that there is some really good natural stuff not far from my house on that show I would never have known was there otherwise. Just a heads up to anyone interested in finding locations near them from the comfort of their sofas. Think this is a trials related topic but is borderline chitchat but decided to put it here. Anyone else found locations near them or even further afeild from that program ? or through some accidental means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Me and Krisboats spend a few minutes here and there on Google Earth looking for locations, you'd be surprised what you can find. We discovered around 5/6 quarries within 20 minutes from home and a few other sweet spots at the back of fields and stuff. I've looked, but sort of don't know what to look for. Seeing a big patch of green or beige doesn't strike me as being a spot, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats because it's not zoom in and look for grey We looked for quarries, which are quite obvious then zoom in and see if they're any good for riding. Theres usually something nearby for a guage of size, like a car or building then it's just a case of turning up and trying them out. Short of that it's just a case of driving round on the lookout round the nearby hillsides and fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Spose lol, but there's knack all actually in nottingham, it's all further away, so I guess it's better to wait for you guys to spot the spots and tag along if I can, or wait to see if it's any good before going. Mind you, I suck so I find natural pretty solid, so as much as I'd like to ride rocks, I don't look to go to natural spots so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
