Not today, but Tuesday's Cotswold Hillclimb Tour was most successful. No road closures, no equestrian events causing havoc, perfect weather with no rain but not too hot, and not a single incident involving an SUV with personalised number plates blocking any roads. Phew! Small Seven entry, but remember that this magnificent event will be repeated for Sevens on Friday 22nd July. Already well booked but remaining places, so don't hesitate to contact me; stevekaytwo@btinternet.com.
The computer refuses to allow me to caption the images, so at the top of Gambles Lane opposite the Rising Sun Hotel, a highly trained chock team are on standby to help cars before they attempt to get off the hill out onto the road. The very original XK120 belongs to Dave Nursey. Ray and Barbara Moses are ascending vigorously in their Chummy. As well as sending tourists up steep Cotswold hills we naturally have to descend deep valleys across a ford or two. And in the paddock at Prescott, David and Ilke Cochrane supervise Chummy owner Adrian Bradshaw, as he prepares their car by filling up with petrol.
