Wycombe Summit March 2014

[mookster]

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to a massive derp! If you imagine a smaller, crapper version of the already mega-derped Sheffield Ski Slope you get Wycombe Summit in High Wycombe.

It closed overnight back in 2006 after a fire broke out in the kitchen of the chalet building totally destroying it, the owners decided it wasn't cost-effective to reopen so the site has been left to rot ever since. The main slope is 124 metres in length and damn near killed me going all the way down it and back up, there are a couple of other smaller slopes on site too.

Visited with Landie who spent most of the explore sliding down a small section of the slope on a trio of Asda tea trays purchased earlier in the day!

By total coincidence while parking up another car the same as Landie's pulled in beside us and out popped an ex-employee of the place who was working there until only a couple of months before it burnt down, he'd turned up to see what was what as well.

Looking back up the main slope
