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
-

They put a 6 foot fence around the area some poeple can't see it (walks by and look across at it LOL ).

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! :)
-
have to stop at the seat half way up to have a rest...lol

steve.
-

steve.
-

Sadly now have to live down where the sun, and beaches, and scrumpy is ::)
Back up in Grantham next week and coming over to Boston to see sister-in-law, well the bit between Coningsby and Boston where you have to drive 5 miles along the sides of the dykes to see signs of humanity :-[

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)

The people with me laught, it's was like a mountain to me ( must post pix of hills around Boston ) !?
I got a normal size coke but I did check what it cost ! LOL
-
i'll try n post a few pics the hills in lincoln and then u lot can decide if u want to try n walk up them on ur bocks ;D....... u get tired walking up the steep hills and knackered cycling up them, so i dread to think how knackered bocking up them would be
-
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.
-
im not too sure about names of roads and such haha, i would suggest goin this weekend but im at cadwell park, umm..as this weekend should be sunny... dont think itd be a good idea to go with crappy weather... so i guess thats all year round haha :P
give me a large amount of body padding and ill run down a hill :P
-
I'm taking my mum to a party in the afternoon but this sunday morning I've off to try to climb STEEP HILL :o
Up not down ! :)

I had a Jet-ski there. Lanc taking off everyweek would fly right over us on the lake. People would take picture as it did, us ... hardly looked up !?
-
Well I'll be near steep hill midday sunday I'll do my best to video it and take some pictures. It not called steep hill because it's slopes, I've seen mountain goats on the top !?
-
I should be near steep hill 12'o'clock ?
-
I hope to be near the chippy car park at the bottom of Steep Hill before 12 if anyone up for a short climb ?
-

steve.
-
It's was easy !
Bit got up to the steepest bit and was pasting poeple :o
I was showing them up ;D
Was thinking of making it the part of a meet, it's not that hard.
-
Well it's not that hard but you if you past poeple the look upset that your fastter than them :o ;D
The start of cobbles
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Dark-Knight/DSC05703.jpg)
The biggest part of the slope.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Dark-Knight/DSC05708.jpg)
Half way up the cobbled road.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v699/Dark-Knight/DSC05745.jpg)
When you reach the top it's a cobbled square not bocker friendly, so had a bock about the area.
I did go into Lincoln Cathedral and they didn't mind me there going in there ( walk don't bounce about it's a church ).
I didn't walk down on them before you ask !?
-
it seems sooo much harder walking up?? :P
im gna have to come down and give it a try soonish! :P :)
steve.

steve.
-

-

steve.
It wasn't any harder than walking up . Like Rick says the road going up on the left hand side steeper.
That's where I hope to be this Sunday.
Has for bouncing down .... even walking would be tricky. Best try some smaller ones first !?
-
wear some heavy duty body armour and just go for a run down it when noones around ?:P.. videoing it of course.. :P :)

I'm working on a meet up in Lincoln thats a challange ( I can't flips ) just the odd bounce.
From the Water side to the top of the hill. There's some nice open areas we/you can show off in and the steepest hill I can find Steep Hills was easy ( If I can do it anyone can ) ;D
