    Red Marley Hill Climb

    If you want a great place to ride to and enjoy a one-off spectacle this is the place. Great riding roads to the event and a brilliant event to spectate at.
    Four bikes at a time racing up a bumpy grassy 1/4 mile hill that steepens towards the "pimple" at the top and only one quick line!
    Where else would you see 600cc classic scramblers racing against classic grass trackers?
    I've done my bit as a marshall over the years, but this year i'm going as a punter to enjoy the races.
    Look up the website www.redmarley.com for location.

    Yep I was there as well got a couple of photos if you dont mind i'll put them up. Sod it i'll do it anyway

    Only stopped for a pic once on the way up spring is definatly here could smell blossom most of the way up


    When there i got a good spot on the hill. Had to stopped twice on the way up for a breather the photos dont do that hill justice






    I got a spot right by the big jump and got a lesson in how to jump bikes

    Nice


    Good form


    Even better


    out of shape but recoverable


    A Bit more out of shape but still recoverable


    It was also quite dusty this side


    Ohh S***!!!


    Doh!!! Unrecoverable


    The guy was out cold and rolled back down the hill about 20 foot before the marshalls stopped him he was taken away by ambulance. Hope he 's ok anybody hear anything about his condition as i left not long after this


    As said before a really good day out and only a fiver entry
    heres some of the ironwork to finish off
