CORKSCREW HILL . .

[P.J.]

. .for those of you who enjoyed the hairpins, I regret to advise that the Corkscrew Hill is being straightened; relatively . .

A curve of infinite radius is a straight line - relatively

. .you mean there's more than one Corkscrew Hill? It's the hill where the speed hill-climb events take place. In the Burren G/R c.M204/030

Did a few of the hillclimbs in my younger days but haven't been up there for years.

Until the day after the Rally of Discovery that is
Myself & Daithi spent the day 'touring' the Burren, had lunch in Monks of Ballyvaughan & did the Corkscrew before heading home.
I really hope they don't spoil it.
Here's the view from the top :

And if you look really closely into the distance..

Yeah, down there, sticking out into the bay. See it...

Zoom in a bit more. That's better.

That tower's one of GerryC's photo points.
Now, if I could just get the bike into the shot

Yeh funny enough when I read this I thought of there as well and it's only been resurfaced about 4 years ago too!

Feck, that's a pity, nice stretch of road.
