    Anyone know where to run around west london (UK)?

    I'm moving to West London next month and I'm freakin out there might be nowhere to run my boat! Anyone out there know of any ponds near W2,
    W11 where you are aloud to run a brushless boat? Hyde park or the Serpentine?

    Sure you will find a place. Thames river should be close also.

      W2 is pretty close to the middle of London, I've run on the Thames a few times and I think that far down you are in unrestricted water with no speed limits, I don't run on it any more though as running on a river is too risky unless you have a full size boat as if you stop out there you may never get it back and my dad has moved down to Plymouth with his boat, further out to the west of London is the Elmbridge club's lake at Egham, I know there's a tethered hydro lake more central than that but that is the closest RC lake that I know of, (although I'm not saying that there aren't any that I am unaware of. Electra is a club with a FE race series around the south east of England, we have our first race of the season at Elmbridge on 26th of April come along and check it out and have a chat with the racers, they may know of a lake closer to you, where are you at the moment, sorry but I don't recognise AU, Austria? Australia? we have nearly the same classes as Austria but if your from Australia it may be a bit of a culture shock getting used to endurance racing rather than sprinting, you can find classes run times etc here what boats/classes do you run at the moment? I hope to see you around.
