24 Problems Only People From Newton Aycliffe Will Understand

7. What Happened To The Witches Ditches?

There were several different drops and dangerous routes to take there - "Big Bertha" and "The Wall of Death", for example - but it's no longer accessible. The whole area (think of it as a bowl-shaped area of mud surrounded by trees) is now full to the brim with cuttings, leaves and tree trunks. So, not only can't people use it any more, it also looks a mess.
