Prescott Speed Hill Climb Sunday
|
Pleased to find I have a ride at this meeting.
|
I follow the event signing from the M5 at Ashchurch, although there is a
shorter way.
|
|
We biker boys are very considerate, naturally, but beware that if you
are out on horseback early in the morning you could meet a somewhat
rorty Harley that is ridden to meetings.
|
Bugatti Owners Club, Classic, Members and Motorcycles day at Prescott
hill climb, Gotherington. 5 miles from Cheltenham.
|
I've not been to the hill climb for 20 years, but I might try and make
an effort seeing as you'll be there.
|
Why don't you enter?
|
heh. Nice idea, but hill-climbing is quite a specific art.
|
|
|
I keep meaning to go but every time I either forget until it's too late or
- like this weekend - have already made other plans.
|
|
he's just another old duffer.
|
|
|
Hmmm. Thanks for the warning!
Have you been there before? If you see a jodphur-clad brunette, wave.
|
Oh yes - now and then for the last twenty five years or so.
|
If I've still got a horse under me, I might be able to wave back - if
I haven't, would you give us a lift back to the village?
|
I am always a good chap and get there the official way, rather than
through Gotherington village, and my tow car is sooo quiet.
|
There's an official way? You'd never know that from the traffic on one
of the big days!
|
Otherwise this might be an offer hard to refuse.
|
:~)
Actually, aside from the Peugeot Owners Club (and some of the
"audience") the Prescott lot tend to be very thoughtful people. It's
rather nice riding when there's so many olde vehicles about,
especially when the steam train is running as well. "Exciting£ but
nice.

First time at this hill on the Tart so it will be interesting to see if
can get anywhere near my best Nordwest and Husky 610 times.
NHCA championship round, so the fast boys on their singles will be
there, plus an eclectic mix of four wheelers including presumably some
Bugs.
Unfortunately no passes available as it is a bit of a steep entry fee
for spectators.
|
Its a lovely venue and I would normally go, but have two sit down/posh nosh
pitlane passes for Brands this weekend. Good luck anyway.
