Correct Patrick wise men live longest, still one or two Clutch testers when fully loaded, one or two went up Sutton Bank and had hairy moments with cars stalling on the hairpin!!!

I would hate to stall on Sutton Bank with all my camping gear on. I don't even like going down it.

Even on the other routes, when fully loaded there's plenty of Bottle, Brake,Clutch and compression testers,
