[#3339723]

I normally park at the Look Out or to the west off Forresters Way. Is there anywhere to park to the south? I tried scoping out the area to the south it looked like lots of posh private roads with 'no parking' signs every where. Any suggestions?

Cheers
Dickie

How comes you dont want to park at the lookout? I know some people park in coral reef but there have been issues with cars being broken into.

I want to park towards the south to explore that area more.

Scud, are there any issues with parking at broad moor?

Ride to the south area?

there's tons of roads to the south you can park in if you want. You can follow pretty much any road heading north from the A30 at Bagshot.

Plenty of places you can park at and ride in from the south. Don't want to say where though, especially as the imminent parking charges are going to shove people off to other areas to park. I want them to myself ๐Ÿ˜›

Near American Golf on A30, that's all I'm saying.

I live on one of the roads you may choose to park on - not a very posh private one mind. It only takes me 15 mins to get to the Lookout if I'm meeting people there, and there's not that much riding in the S part (toward Bagshot/Camberley) anyway so you might as well just park where you normally do and ride over. Unless you're talking about exploring the areas a mile or 2 further south of course...

I believe there are clamping stylee warnings up. BOB have asked permission for club ride groups to use the car parks but if ad hoc bikers start turning up at all times then expect any such favours to vanish a clamp attached to your motor.

The Trolls regualry park in the Farnbrough area and ride up to Swinley via some suprisingly off road routes given the number of towns passed through!

Get out on a night ride and take a GPS.
