kirton or frickley?

SuperMark · Jan 10, 2015

Planning on doing one of these at the end of the month but was just wondering which one you guys rate as being better?

Pikey · Jan 10, 2015

Frickley is bigger. Kirton has more water. The sand/mud at Kirton can be a killer.

I personally wouldn't do Frickley again,not a bad site but too many people who just turn up with clapped out motors and don't care who or what they hit.Also the mud will eat your car as the site is based around old coal mine and slag heaps.

I haven't seen anyone rate frickly on here
Personally every time ive been its been a great day out.and big enough to keep out the way of folk
they allow any motor on ,mot or not.just coz it looks a scrapper dont mean the drivers a dick head,
if you go with another motor you can keep your self to your self
At this time of year its as muddy as hell

you need to try both places to decide for your self

frickley is a good site but a car killer when very wet "stay out of the big water hole at the bottom"

Cheers for the input guys. I've been to frickley once before but it was some years ago and it did not go well. I guess we'll just see how we feel and go from there, both are around the same distance from me so I guess i'll just try both.

Didn't even feel this happen, was following a mate in a fairly standard defender and he carried on, I stopped and couldn't work out why till I looked out the window. It was a new teflon swivel and it sheared the ball clean off destroying the cv. It actually happened twice as I spent the day bodging it back together with a scrap axle I found and then that snapped off.

That's the date me and a couple of mates are aiming for.
