Looking for field to use kids motocross/quad in meath/navan

Hi.

I am looking for some help if possible
I live in meath navan. In johnstown.
I have just got the kids a small little bike and quad and now looking for somewhere close to home to bring the kids on the bikes very now and then.

The are still very young 5 and 8 so does not have to be a track a straight farmers field would be perfect. Does anyone know any farmers.
These bikes are 4 stroke and small so would not rip grass or wreck a field.

Any help on this would be great. They have all the safety gear and won't be going fast so will be ready safe.

I was been looking for somewhere for some time now and still no joy so would be great to get sorted and bring the kids out now and then.

Thanks

Sean

Can't imagine any farmer letting you use their land for to the risk of something happening and then getting sued.Unfortunately that's the litigious nature of today's society.
Would you not have looked into this before making the purchase?

I am fully 100% covered myself and have insurance so nothing will be brought to the the farmer at all. It all out my own risk.

I did look into it and there is a track in gormanstown but this is a track I am thinking more a little field flat feilf really just do they can go around on them.

I am sure I am not the only one in the whole of meath that as done this and looking for something like myself so time will tell if there is any were out there.

We live in meath not Dublin we are covered with unused fields it's just a matter for talking to someone that always goes some where now that they can tell me here or someone that old land that they never use.

Word of mouth is key so I am sure something will come forward.

I don't think that is true - the vast majority of fields are used and if they appear to be empty (just grass for example) then its because the farmer does not want it used - farmers rotate cattle around their land to ensure good grass growth. I just can't see any farmer allowing you on for this reason alone, nevermind fear of claiming.

Join a local motocross group, there are plenty of them around, they will have courses to use, contrary to popular belief there are farmers who will allow this, you just have to find them.
