KRC just wanted the rider to do a walk through with his kit under his
arm so they could have a squint at it.

Hill climbing is just so much more laid back.

Back in the 80's I was on a pedal bike. Iv just had a horrible thought
that I might not be doing any track time next year as I think my lid is
over 5 years old ;(

My version involved a Triumph 2000 (2.5 TC Mk2). The Land Rover IIa tow

[1] Spannering in this context involves a 9" cutter, couple of sledges
and a high lift jack.
