..and live Up North this weekend offers the perfect antidote to the sight of Gareth Southgate's huge teeth and the sound of blokes you've never heard of talking b****ks about 'the Massive Game ; it's just Immense ' etc



Saturday - Barbon. Not the country's best hill by a long way, but located in the most gorgeous setting . Hillclimb championship round 1 of the weekend. The only place to watch is by the top hairpin but it's worth the climb



Sunday- Harewood . The country's longest current hillclimb , and with unrivalled spectator viewing and a lovely site overlooking Wharfedale . Round 2



Beats sitting in front of a big telly .



I hear some big race is happening at Silverstone - catch up is your friend..
