Farnborough Test Track (also known as Eelmoor Test Track)
is exactly that, it is a test track that is used by the army to do
their driver training. Like a lot of the local army areas it is
public access when they are not using it. The track is
tarmacked and while it is not the best surface it is perfectly
skate-able even for learners although you do sometimes have to share the
track with cyclists also using it for training and radio controlled
toys.
The nice thing about the track is that it's a big circuit,
one lap is 1.5km so it is brilliant for distance training but also good
for giving those legs a stretch. Unfortunately the car park is
not tarmacked which means you have to walk to the track and change into
your skates. There are also no lights, you wouldn't want to stay
there after sundown as you are in the woods.
You can see the location (and the outline of the track) HERE , the marker is where the dirt car park is.
