Seeing mention of Sutton Bank on another thread jogged my memory.  Back in the 1970s when we were young and naive, we were on holiday in Yorkshire and, not having a clue about the area, found ourselves about to tow the van up Sutton Bank!  We thought it
couldn't be any worse than some of the hills in Devon & Cornwall and, as it would be miles to make a detour, decided to just go for it.  (I must point out at this stage that way back then there was no ban in force.)  We thought it was a bit odd that we were
overtaken by a police car on the approach to the hill and that the police officer had a good look at our car.  Turns out he must have been checking that it was a bit bigger than a Reliant Robin rather than admiring the paintwork.  The outcome was that the
car (Rover 3.5) towed the van up the Bank with no trouble at all.  I think we might have had to slow down a bit for a sharp bend part way up.  It was quite an uneventful climb - just a bit stupid!

Anybody else taken their van, motorhome or whatever to somewhere that was not totally sensible?
