Yesterday we attended the downhill challenge which is an event for gravity racers. Just a stones throw to this beautiful little wolds village with the very long steep hill running through. Teams take place in various classes covering the downhill course of approximately 800 metres. Such fun with some novelty entries to some very slick ones indeed.
The weather was great and we marched up the hill to watch closely from behind the straw bales these wonderful ‘gravity racers’ come hurtling down the hill to their chosen music. A fantastic atmosphere ensued, as we clapped and cheered amid such excitement, as each entry tried to get the best time or at least improve on their own, before being towed up to the top of the hill to do it all over again.
With the many stalls and the prevailing smell of bacon butties, hamburgers, and sausage babs wafting through the late summer air, it was a really lovely way to spend a Sunday with family and friends.
