Trafford Water Sports Centre (formerly Sale Water Park) Visitor Centre Car Park

The bushes and woods are active during favorable weather. But the rain doesn't dampen the spirits. Some hot group action takes place in the bushes and trees when you'd expect most guys to be holed up in their cars.

Best time
Fridays and weekends. Dusk until midnight.
Crowd
Married men, suburban guys, blokes*br*posing as tourists.

The guide

Where exactly

Take the SALE exit off M60, entrance directly off roundabout. Go down the lane and follow road to the left at the T junction. 200 yds along the lane is the cruisy car park, action takes place at back end of car park or in area beyond the visitor centre building EDITOR UPDATE: TOILETS NOW CLOSED - NOW NEW LOCATION-> Best place to park is at the Jacksons Boat Pub. As you head towards SWP off motorway, instead of following the road left to visitor car park, go right and the road becomes a dead end at Jacksons Boat Pub (ok grub). Park-up & go to far end of car park away from pub and left up a path past footy pitch. U will see a bench, sit on it to watch out 4 talent then follow into field on the left just after bench and wooded, area all around field 4 . The path leads up to Visitor Centre car park Go back to Jacksons Boat and over bridge (River Mersey), u will see 3 paths, one along river, one into woody area and one to Rifle Road, Chorlton--Hardy. Take woody one (often a bit muddy). The bench area best next to footy pitch. More action in the bushes in the daytime - best around 5PM Cross street: M60 @ Rifle Road

Cruisiest spot: Fun times in cars or out in the bushes.

When to go
