Not sure Duncan. It has 7 hairpin bends in the space of about 1/2 mile. I made the mistake of attacking it in second and had no chance to change down between corners! VERY steep and tight enough that you need full lock to get round each hairpin.

Yes Duncan (and Paul!) that's The Corkscrew. My memory of that climb was on the first Le Jog endurance rally in 1993, when we were expected to maintain a 30mph average (at night in a blizzard!) over that road (I was in an early 948cc Triumph Herald - it was hard work!

My main memory is the rate at which my Pembleton shot up in 2nd and I didn't' have time to think about what was happening! Exhilarating.The car following had longer wheelbase and had to take most of the bends in two cuts.

I was in Uckfield in the morning, (boys playing football and we only live in Buxted.)
Managed a very quick walk round Luxford fields when you were parked up, shame it was so wet.

Yes the weather was not the best ,have just about dried out . I would imagine only about 50% of the cars entered braved the weather nothing like the usual amount .I did nearly take the Bubble i usually do it with because it had a roof.
