Tony Le Mesmer Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'm led to believe there is some sort of nature reserve behind the iPro. I can't seem to find much on the internet so does anyone have any knowledge of this or any river walks nearby to the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaspode Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Don't expect t be able to have a nice stroll around the nature reserve - it's fenced off (with viewing platforms) and frankly looks a right mess since the council tried to build their aborted mountain bike track alongside the velodrome and then didn't reinstate the area. Having said that, the ground is only a couple of minutes walk from the river and there is a decent path running alongside so you can easily get away from the worst of the traffic if you want a walk.....

True - I ride that way to work every day and there is a queue of sad looking badgers on mountain bikes wondering what happened to their new track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 The twitchers objected to the cycle track. its not like the land was ever used for industry is it? no railway sidings or gas work land was ever there.? loada ******, birds can fly somewhere else, and the rats and voles etc aren't exactly an endangered species are they?

Tony Le Mesmer Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Cheers for the replies. Just wanted somewhere to pass a couple of hours before the game Saturday with a mate who doesn't booze. There isn't really anything interesting to see or do around the iPro so we'll just do what everyone else does to pass the time and sit in our cars not speaking, with our faces looking down at a phone screen faffing. Looking up occasionally to just check that the world is still in existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd been wondering why some folk always parked right at the far end of the car park - perhaps I'll take a wander up there this afternoon as I'm quite partial to a border collie....

Well I have to say I was very disappointed yesterday - walked right to the far end of the car park and there were no dogs at all (unless you count the old bird in the Mondeo surrounded by a group of blokes with their camcorders out and their trousers round their ankles - perhaps they'd scared the dog walkers away....)
