• well for a teen in wadebridge this is the choice of places that u can go: 'The Circle': an area next to co-op car park usually associated with the towns underage drinkers. crowds of between 10-100 youths can emass hers every nite of the week but it peeks at the weekend starting on a friday nite. this is placed most feared by anyone over 40 as youths can be deemed quite daunting especially wen they have had a few bottles of stella. 'Glass house': This is a glassless shelter just outside of the co-op in the centre of town. this place is used by the famed local youths (who i am not gunna name but call them by code!) such as Gonk, Gayum and crowd who use this as a kind of lookout point in order to spot other members of their crew and the boy racers who fly by. this shelter can get quite crowded by about 7pm every nite especially if it is raining.Boy racers may park by this to speek to thier comrades until the local grumpy car park attendant tells them to go away. 'Bottom Car Park': This is hallowed turf in wadebridge for the local boy racers. The Local Boys usually arrive just afer 5ish to sit and chill amongst one another. just recently the police and council have seen this as a big threat to he town due to complaints being made by local residents but the thing is this car park has been used by boy racers for years and years. It is used less these days than what it has ever been used but for some reason the police and council think the trouble has got worse!! Yeah right. boy racers tend to just circle this car park now or park for around ten minutes then leave again. 'Big Park': This is usaully were younger groups of youths normally go a hang out before they become fully fleged platt rats. ages of people hers can start from around 6 years of age all the way up to around 12/13. The younger members will use the park facilitys whilst the older members will usually gather around club area of the park 'John Betchamin centre': This located near the towns youth club. it is a place were a large group 13-17 year olds go to hang out and to shelter from the rain. it can get more busier there than the actual youth club itself. it is a good place to go as it is part of the famed boyracer lap of wadebridge and boy racers constantly patrol that part of road. 'Town hall benches': Used to be a huge meeting for platt rats of old. now rarely used by the towns youth at all.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide.
