It was a very picturesque place, beautiful backdrop! As you said a great place for a rally but I feel that the fact there was only three of us meant that we had a certain amount of freedom that would not be allowed if there were more of us!
Was also great to hear members of the public commenting on how nice it was to see some movement around the site! And as long as a bit of common sense is used then the chances are nothing is likely to go wrong!

Let me know if this takes place next year, we'll try and bring our Foden along to this, as I live quite close to Leeds Castle. |

The roller was the Wallis advance in the pictures which has it's rolls rubbered, makes the whole experience less risky! Still great fun though! . Maybe one day I'll find out what it's like on steel rolls, I would definitely want a crew of at least three - driver, steersman and someone at the ready with a block!
It comes in handy to know the hill like the back of my hand as I cycle up it at least once week on my way to the B&WLR! I usually come back down at half nine at night at speeds around the 40mph mark which is when the knowledge really comes in handy! ;-)

Its not the going up which is the problem its going down .I have now driven up and down hollingbourne, hill and also done detling and bluebell hill .Bluebell hill was the worst as its very fast and the lorries do wizz pass when your only doing 3mph.

Harry,
Ah, the rubber rolls do help I think, I reckon its the only way that I would attempt it. I used to live at the top of the hill in Tunstall and often wondered if I would ever attempt it on my engine. You should get Bill to give you "Thursday night boys" danger money travelling at those sorts of speeds on a bike. Cheers Dave |
