I also race at caldicot, but with an SC10. I got a AX10 trail truck too, was originally an AX10 crawler but slowly got converted to a scaler Wink

post code is np22 4 according to google

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=51.80612,-3.277187&num=1&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=6.881357,14.941406&ie=UTF8&ll=51.814611,-3.28989&spn=0.038947,0.089779&z=14

once you get to trefil just follow the main road out of the village that will take up towards the quarry it does get a bit bumpy we will be parked up on the left side after you drive between two rock faces.

if you still not sure once you get there give mike a ring on his mobile
(one of the few places you can get a signal)
