The Hill Climb calendar at Prescott Hill starts again on May 5th and 6th - Saturday and Sunday. I vote we move May's Cheltenham meet and have it there. What say you good folks?

[Daniel H]

I wouldn't mind it. It's a bit closer for me to get to than the usual spot :) .

[Ramps]

Yep - I'll come :thumbs:

The last one we had there was a bloody good day out :nod:

[jon200]

i'm up for this but think we should meet at the pub first cos i get lost easily :D

[FullMetalGasket]

I'll be there for this (If i can that is) as it can show me how scared I need to be :wack:
(doing the Hillcllimb school there with the 7 in June ;) )

mmmmmmmm pub!!!!

[Ramps]

mmmmmmmm pub!!!!

any ideas of entry costs??

They've got a couple of bars there :thumbs: and food counters, for burgers, etc

It's £12 this year for the Saturday to get in and park iirc. Last year we got there about 12 and stopped most of the day :)

[disco-tom]

Last time we got there about 12 noon and it seemed we missed a fair bit of the action, so I'm going to go for about 10 or 11am, I think.

[jibber]

cant say yay or nay, dont know if i will be working til not long before

[jon200]

what time do the bars open at the hill climb :D . can someone do a map for the people with zero road knowlede! like me :nod:

[Seth]

Sounds like a plan and it’ll make a nice change, are we going to meet up first somewhere or go straight there?

[mattlake]

count me in (he says as always before dropping out because the girlfriend has organised something else:rolleyes:)

[disco-tom]

Meeting up before hand will be dependant on what time folks want to get there for, I guess. As I want to get there for either 10 or 11, I'll be going straight there. It's not that hard to find, though. If you get into Gotherington from the west, then the road takes through the village you straight there.

[cHiL]

Well, sounds good to me:thumbs:

sort her out Matt:whip: :cool:

[MR SXY]

Sounds like a plan, might just join you all for the day out :) There is a nig kit car show on as well that weekend but think it’s on the Monday. As long as they don’t clash I will be there.

Seth can i grab a lift with you?

[Squirt]

Ill have to double check my saturday rota at work tomorrow but i can pretty much say yes!

[jon200]

Where??? :confused: :wack:

[disco-tom]

Well, I'm still going, whatever. Popping in to work in the morning, though, so I'll be leaving Gloucester at about 11am.

[Ramps]

I'm aiming to get up there between 11:30 and 12 but not sure how long I'll stop :( because i'm having trouble finding someone to look after my lad :annoyed:
