Mod 1 layout dimentions??

Hector · 26 Aug 2010 at 17:01

A lady not far from me is booked for her Mod 1 on the 12th of next month and would like to be able to get some more practice in before the day.

Does anyone have a link or document that they can send me that shows the layout with measurments or perhaps know of a marked practice area within a reasonable range of Amersham Bucks?

Thanks,
Tone.

I remember it being 150m long in total. Can't find the layout I had saved though

Thanks for looking growse

I found some layout diagrams here but there are no measurements shown:

I also read somewhere that angles and distances differed from site to site, although the area had to be at least a set length/width. Does anyone know if that is correct?

This is the official layout (I think, looks like it). Reverse if it goes the other way. As I said, I think it's 150m long, so you can probably work out the other distances knowing that, from the diagram.

The cone positions are fairly precisely measured out, iirc. If there is any deviation, it won't be anything you'll notice. The only exception I know of is a test centre in north-west london that does weekends only. The layout there is actually split across two bits of tarmac, because they didn't have one bit big enough. The exercise dimensions are all exactly the same, it's just you do the figure-8, slalom and parking in a slightly different place tot he others.

Cheers mate, I'll see what I can work out Math wise and If she can't find a official practice area, we could at least use some dayglow tape and recreate one.

Thanks again
