just watching Guy Martin on C4 and it's reminded me of watching the Rumster Hill Climb as a nipper

after googling i found this ... on the Caithness Car Club ...

'The club is more known in the sprinting scene, but it did once run one of the most notorious hillclimbs - Rumster, whether its notoriety was a result of the white knuckle driving or the social scene, only those who participated will know!

Unfortunately the Forestry Commission used the tarmac for access when tree felling and destroyed the track. Caithness Car Club surrendered the track license and the hill dropped off the championship. However, the committee are working hard to try and resurrect the hillclimb at Rumster and its hoped it might once again, provide more thrills in years to come.'


such a shame, i know the trees are gone and the track mostly looks like crap, but can it happen again ? ....
