You can tell us more about Chatham.

• Rochester Police Station - a 1960's monster now empty except for some squatting Goths from the Art Collage
• Under the fly-over near the bus station is great for flatland
• there is a skate bus that goes to a skate park. its coffered in graffit(fire the designers!)
• A nice 5 foot mini ramp has been built down jacksons field! Its there for a month ( August 2nd - September 2nd)! Its very smooth!
• You will just get mobbed by a 50+ strong group of chavs. Bugger off to maidstone, much better.
• Buckmore Park is no more. There is nothing behind where Grab used to be apart from a small, dry area of tarmac. Chatham Hill? Only if you are into downhilling in the relentless traffic. There is no huge (sic) marvl statue or White Lion pub outside Lloyds Bank. Nothing to skate at Fort Pitt or Wickes car park. The coach park is very rough brick surface and the bars have been 'knobbed'. There are many more spots in Chatham than there are in Canterbury.
• great marble blocks near the bridge. Tescos has to good 7 sets bingo hall has a great 4 set. Opposite tescos cool little block to manual over. Iceland 4 set and 7 set loading bay. High Street in general is great surface lots of benches. Alders car park has a great gap/drop by the garage up one end. BLockbuter has a cool bank thing and good 4 set but u can only sk8 there for a bit cos of security gaurds. Dockside up the road has loads of stuff drops loading bays good surface but be careful because u get a security gaurd on u depending where u skate cos theres only cameras in some places. Chatham is a great place to skate
• No where in Chatham really try Canterbury
• Rochester in general, under the bridge in Chatham, on the monuments, coach parks...
• the carpark and tennis courts in fort pitt girls school is where the bmx crew hang out to do a bit of freestyle. and wickes carpark.

• Chatham Hill.
• Under the bridge. Behind the GRAB shop. At end of high street, near Natwest. Graffiti everywhere, talk of a halfpipe to be built, may happen. SK8's and crew hang out here.
• Buckmore Park: Strange vintage mini-park at Scout camp. I wonder if it's still there? Very old snake run type of design but beyond mellow. Can't imagine many people being interested for other than archaeological reasons.
