Visited this site with Evilnoodle, We came across this purely by accident, while researching another explore. We struggled to find much, if any information about this place ( typical really of Shell, they do play their cards close to their chest regarding info), All we have found out is that it was a test track, used for testing high performance oils and fuels. There wasn't that much to see really, but what was there was relatively in good condition, considering it has been closed for a number of years.
So on with my pics.
