WDMES Portable Track

In addition to our main track at Daresbury, we have a portable track which visits various events around the area to provide rides for children of all ages. This is 150 feet long and being a straight track, we run out and back rides, normally two runs each way constitute a ride.

Because erecting, running and dismantling the track requires a significant effort from members, we only take on a limited number of outings per year. Some are regular, others just one-off events. If you have an outdoor event and would like us to bring the track along, please contact our track manager, Mr Steve Hudson (01925 860962) to discuss availability and terms. The Portable Track is our main means of raising additional funds for ongoing projects within the society so we have to have a financial commitment.

The track and station ready for use.
