after walking around the outside of a 15 foot concrete fence for what seamed like an age me and BB found a way in, and its bigger then i expected.
as andym says on his website, finding history on this place is not easy as there seams to be nothing out there! the only bit i can find is it was built in the late 1970's when the company was under government ownership after it collapsed in 1974. there are a variety of sufaces (cobbled roads) and steep hills (its like the test track on top gear a bit back) which would have been used for testing of trucks.
so any way theres not more i can say other then its not a bad place to have a walk around but end of the day its a road! :)
from above, i took this pic last year i think!
