A ton was no Uphill task for Malcolm


The Malcolm Uphill pub in Caerphilly honours a sporting hero whose devotion to motorcycling led to him breaking a key record ...

on the Isle of Man TT circuit. In 1969 he became the first racer to average more than 100mph over two laps on a production bike. It was such a momentous event that Dunlop named one of its tyres in celebration. For more of the story, scan the HistoryPoints QR codes in one of the pub's windows. Or click here
