Wash Bockers
« on: August 20, 2007, 10:33:29 PM »
Is there any Bockers in the Lincs area or am I the only gay bocker in the area ? That's why I didn't want a group picture in London ? A group one would look real sad !?  :(
If you hate bocking up and down hill you'd love Boston ! Even the Hill are flat. They use a bridge to do hill start in the car tests  :o
Skegness is a great place to pose in the summer  ;D

Other bockers would laugh at this but on sunday we walk up a long swallow slope, it was the biggest slope I'd been on.
I think if we have a go ( I'd like to try too ) I think we need back up or should that been a safety wall behind us !

That was the steepest hill i've ever been up on bocks! I live In the middle of the fens where there are no hills, jus mile upon mile upon mile upon mile of fields. Often up around Kings Lynn, Hunstanton etc though, so wash bocking sounds good!  :)

i live rite at the mouth of the great Ouse, the river banks there can be steeper than that climb on sunday, but their not as long - that thing killed me - lucky we got a rest at the end

(but those large cokes were hardly large)

How about a a meet to have a climb from the High Street to Lincoln Cathedral via Steep Hill and a easy walk back down to the outdoor market !?
We could have a crack at SH if not there's that v-shape road we could cheat with  ;D

well, from what i remember of being there not so long ago... you go from the cntre of town or whatever and you go all the way up and the cathederal is on the right kinda thing..and the castle is too the left.. maybe once we get there and attempt it we'l realise how hard it is but right now it sounds like a laugh lol.
 although, that hills well steep... how about running down? anyone mad enough to attempt that ?:P £20 to the person who sprints down that hill full pelt :P.

I think that no one should even walk down Steep Hill has for running ... if you where stupid and tried to walk down you'd down up running and if you didn't kill yourself very badly off. That why I'm working out a different route down.

need an ambulance at the bottom ready then to get u up to the hospital if anyone was mad enough to do it.

be more like a run and jump and you'd be at the bottom.
Theres Lindum hill that isnt as steep as steep hill but its longer.

think you mean danesgate that runs past usher gallery i fell off my mountain bike going down that hill as i clipped the kerb with my front tire.
