I used to live up there up to may 2001, been up there a couple of times in my mini that you see on my profile, have you ever beaten wark-bellingham-wark in a 1.2 16v corsa under 10 minutes?

where in the village do you live now?

the road is a must, especially down the mile bank - just keep your nerve and keep it planted until the chicane at the bottom!

I once did hexham roundabout to the grey bull in 9 1/2 minutes, that was scary good, but I did have a renault 19 16v encouraging me at close range!

Just think, it's probably down to you and my dad that I'm the way I am !
I'm a product of my environment.
I follow by example........etc.

otherwise known as Chollorford Roundabout

p.s. it's hard to keep it planted down the mile bank in a mini 'cos it's always wanting to jump on to the grass or the other lane !
mini suspension + 13" wheels + Dodgy road surface =

well I was referring to the mile bank above bellingham but same effect really! keeping it planted is a religion to me and I worship at the altar of maximum momentum
