Woodbridge is no more....

[SootySport]

.......a trackday venue sadly.     Us Essex boys had some fun there for a few years and was cheap and local.

Noooooooooooo

fraid so Dave.

What's the story @SootySport? Have the MoD stopped it's use or is it the issues with the runway/track surface?

[kevip6]

That's such a shame, was always a fun day out there come rain or shine.  Always good for a weekend as well

[SootySport]

The MOD are using the airfield more now and can't plan ahead any trackday use for Javelin.  Trackdays may come back in the future but no set date.

Just read - such a shame. Had some great days at Woodbridge.

Oh 

Woodbridge was a favourite of mine too.

Ah. Alternative is now what was called Cottesmore. I've been there a couple of times, not sure it's a match for Woodbridge though.

Did you drive the old Cottesmore layout before the Army took over the base? I've seen vids of the new Kendrew barracks version, and it doesn't look as good.

We used to have a good winter venue up North, Elvington.. but I think it was killed by anti noise nimbys.

Yep. Wittering too, I often confuse the two though, have probably done Wittering more often, wasn't it Cottesmore when the heavens opened and we all drilled holes in the floor...?

Wittering from 5 years or so ago:

Yup, Cottesmore was slightly moist.
