The weekend before last was the National Hillclimb championships at Wiscombe Park, Cars of various shapes and sizes take in turns to hurtle up a narrow track tucked away in a (previously) quiet valley. This East Devon course is considered by many to be the hardest on the calendar.
My friend Steve Clarke was one of the mad people to whizz up the hill, more can be read about that on Sarahs blog (http://tworedboots.co.uk/blog/2008-07-27/priorities-for-the-day-updated/). I am pleased to say he was fastest in his class, and set his best ever time for that particular hill!
The weather was fantastic, and the pint of Otter Ale (http://www.otterbrewery.com/) and Ice cream were very welcome in the heat, goodness knows how hot Steve was in his fireproof overalls.
I was also thinking how many of the July meetings I had been to over the years, here all all the blog entries I can find from over the years...
