    Agree, most powerful tow cars could do it easily, but then you would get over optimistic triers with a twin axle towed by something on the limit having a go and causing havoc! Last few times I have been up, around six in last two years, there has been some
    sort of closure or hold up! One was a HGV that didn't make the hairpin, shed its load of steel bars and ploughed up the road surface! Complete shut down both ways!  Last week was an Audi, bonnet up and steaming merrily after hairpin, going nowhere! 

    Get a good run up, nothing in front holding you up and it is a glorious driving experience, a nice steady work out for both motor and driver. Shame it isn't longer really!

    Best fun I had was going down in the snow to pick up a Chinese in Thirsk! That was hairy, especially as there was a Lorry already jackknifed at the hairpin, spun off into the bit of rough ground!

     I love Porlock Hill as well in Somerset!Laughing

    Write your comments here...What part of Thirsk do the Chinese live in?

    They occupy a small little take away in the Market place, selling delicious food. You aren't allowed to actually take a Chinese person away, just say thank you for creating such tasty dishes!Happy

    (with apologies, I should have put meal in after Chinese)

    Yes, very very nice, unless you have to live there with the caravans rolling through! I think at times there is some creative parking! We spent an afternoon at Byland Abbey on Tuesday, glorious! Coxwold is lovely as well, home of Tristram Shandy!

    Wass Bank (don't try it towing!) is really beautiful, up through the woodlands, deer all over the place!

    Sadly, that won't qualify you for Yorkie status JVB! My relatives invaded York with the Vikings in 1066! (My Dad is a 6'3" blond haired blue eyed "berserker"!Laughing
