Being a Kirkby lad, that was a regular thing to do every time the National was on...

We used to walk along the canal, and there was a narrow lane which had the railroad tracks on one side, and big wooden fencing into the course on the other. Basically kids used to walk the length of the path and find a weak spot, then everyone piled in.
