I've just seen this on another forum about the resurfacing and recommissioning of the Rest & Be Thankfull hillclimb in Scotland.
Following the demise of the "new" road, due to landslips in the recent bad weather, the local authority are now re-surfacing the old road to use as a bypass. The alternative route is currently a 50 mile detour.
When not in use, i.e. when the new road gets repaired again, it is likely to be made "available" for motorsport.
Picture the good old days of rallying when Ari Vatanen drove the hill & broke his differential in the "famous Scottish Rally Diff incident". To get going again they stopped a road going MK1 Capri to nick the diff from & left the owner to get his car (with no axle) back to the dealership.
Great stuff - enjoy!!!!
