Anyone hear about this?

2, maybe as much as as 4 weeks ago now. Rider couldn't stop coming down the side of Walton Hill to the road, just down past the Walton car park (Walton Hill Road)

I think that was the one Houns. There was a car involved I was told

Version I got was around a bit from St Kenelm's Pass

Do you have any more detail?

Ah, thanks. Yeah that looks like almost the top of the hill from the Vine

Not a MTB

Always dodgy as you reach top speed as the road narrows to only allow one vehicle to pass

I sit outside the Vine quite a lot (as one does after a ride) and am staggered at some of the speed the cars are doing going both ways...

BUT - some of the roadies are doing similar speeds! ๐Ÿ™„

Mmm Wainwright (and butty, and good food there)

Yeah I don't like driving up/down there, certainly won't ride it

Wainwright is ok, and the food is good. The pub is down to earth (as Clent pubs go)

I go for the scrumpy myself ๐Ÿ™‚

Last time I went to the vine they had run out of ale & offered darling as an alternative. I told the barman I'd rather have a pint of stream water from the back of the car park
