Went last year , everything from one off drag bikes to mopeds going up the hill.
All in a lovely setting , worth a trip if you are in the area.

Hoghton Tower Sprint 11 May
Re: Hoghton Tower Sprint 11 May
Lovely day at the sprint , very amateur but that made it all the better .
Modern , classic , 2 stroke you name it , I got the feeling some of the bikes only
come once a year to do the sprint. Some of the riders made getting off the line look
a lot harder than it should be but everyone having fun.

Some of those chaps could improve their times by skipping a snack or two. 
Looked like a fun day. I'd go along to something like that,if it was local.
