Hi guys I couldnt find the appropriate section for this.

Anyway, I almost ordered a joysway bullet this morning but thought I better check where I can use it.

I called thrybergh country park and they said I cant use it there

I called rother valley country park and they said I can use it there but it will cost me 3
60 plus 5 quid parking.

Only other place I can think of is ulley resivoir but I cant get hold of them.

Hi,
Looking at the speed of it on a video ...I dont think any council owned water would allow it, toooooooo fast.
You are probably looking at a Res or similar providing you get Insurance and permission.
Regards Sub.

It's a man made pond where part of the pit used to be, I walk my dog round it and often see a few rc speedboats.
Look on google maps and its on Ventura roundabout
