The Station will be operated at variours times and days during the 28 days on all modes and bands.

The Hadleigh Farm venue will host the London 2012 Mountain Bike competition.

The Essex-based course will play host to both the men’s and women’s Olympic Mountain Bike competitions on the 11 and 12 August 2012, with a total of 80 cyclists competing for two gold medals.

The venue encompasses farmland owned by The Salvation Army and the adjacent Country Park, and the open hillside setting will offer challenging gradients for riders aswell as Construction of the 5km course – which features 500 tonnes of rock – began in July last year, and is ready in time for the test event scheduled to take place this July.

Essex County Council are currently developing a legacy plan detailing how the venue will be used after the 2012 Games.

Because of a security lock down in the local area it is not possible to operate the amateur Radio Station there , so we have decided to use another site which is still in Castle Point at the bottom of the Benfleet downs looking up to the site from the other side of Benfleet Creak .
