In about 1985 I camped at Wiscombe in the field at the top behind Martini. It absolutely hurled it down all day - it was the weekend they mounted a big rescue mission on Dartmoor for the ten tors. I reckon the tent slid about 15ft down the hill during the day. Getting changed for drinks in the house with Col Chichester on Saturday evening was a challenge.
Sorts out who can drive though.....

I think I was at that meeting - I went there with my Dad who was testing his Royale RP26 ff1600. I was 16 at the time and remember Derek Mullis was driving his faithful Mini. Sorts out who can drive though.....
My first drive at the hill was in April 2004 in a Van Diemen RF85 when I broke the class record on my first timed run - Keith Harris beat it with his 1st run, so my record lasted a few minutes..
Awesome hill though
I ran up the hill on Saturday, my first hillclimb! Was really suprised how slippery the hill was and also how close the banks/tyres/trees are if things go wrong. Great event all round, lovely location, challenging hill, very slick organisation and great people.
Absolutely mental in the wet though!!
