Hello all!
I posted this in another forum but didnt have much interest, just thought i would make you guys aware too Sorry its a bit lengthy
Anybody interested in renting 12 acres? Im nosie and text the man who posted the ad, he said that the trails on this land are fairly even and could be levelled off further. The man has an interest in husky running and fancies a go at husky mushing, and thinks using the land for that is an 'interesting proposal'.... Anyway maybe there will be group of people interested? I would be!! Oh and the man confirmed via text that it is 12 acres. 12 acres could be alot if the trail was a circular/8/oval shape?

(I later added) The man who posted the gumtree advert has just phoned me, sounds like a nice person and coincidentally stays 2 streets away from me.... The story is that he looks after the land and a holiday home there on behalf of his brother when he is not using it.
The use of the rented holiday home gets quiet in the winter so training on the land in the winter months like owners do, generating an income for them during this time is ideal for them, and us! The man is willing to help make the land suitable for running if it isnt already. There is a paddock of horses in a field attached with 8 acres but they are fenced away from where the dogs would be. We are able to visit the place obviously for a look.
The holiday home is also up for rent and 'dog friendly' and there are outhouses, the man said he is willing to turn these into kennels if people wanted to rent the holiday home in the winter and use the land to run on. There was also talk that if there was interest in renting the 'dog friendly house/ kennels' during the winter months, that we may even be able to use the land for free the rest of the winter
The holiday home is

I think £200 per month is a really good price for 12 acres of land to use whenever you like, and an owner willing to change the land if required to make it fit for purpose....
If there was a group of people interested then it could be...
5 people interested - £40 each per month
10 people interested - £20 each per month
15 people interested - £13 each per month
25 people interested - £8 each per month
30 people interested - £6 each per month
Oh well, id visit and probably go for it if i liked it, its an hours drive from my house, but i cant afford it on my own. Was just an idea
OBVIOUSLY isnt not something people would do without seeing the place, and the man is happy for anybody to do that. Always been a dream of mine to have some countryside land and this is the least expensive option that ive seen.
