I've edited your post for clarity – the hill runs have sold out but there's space for hundreds of cars for general entry, so plenty of tickets available for those that want to attend a Sunday Service in the usual fashion Use discount code PISTONHEADS24 to get your ticket in advance for £6 here.

No worries! I’ll need to be more on it next year!

Here's me wondering for a bit too long how a 1.8 litre auto civic might fair up the hill!

(slowly, let it be said)

Still, maybe next year eh?

Anything is game to be fair, some of the vintage stuff is slooow. Funnily one of the most fun things to watch last year was a guy in I think it was an old Honda CRV giving it death. Was definitely quicker than some of the more fruity stuff.
I took the wife’s convertible Mini on one of the club days last year and that was great if not the quickest.

I'd forgotten about that CRV, that was hilarious

hi, don't suppose anyone can help me out who's been before, but i understand obv it's a hill climb, so it's a hill lol, but is any of it like level ground for the cars on show etc? just have some accessibility issues. thanks

Hi - most of the carpark is hard standing / tarmac although the odd person parks on the grass. The different car parks are level themselves, but there's a gradient in between them that can be quite steep (but is also tarmac).

Hope that helps, but feel free to ask any specific questions.

Not sure I agree. (I live a couple of miles away and am a member)

Most visitors park on the grass, the grass car parks are not level. To see most of the track it’s a fairly steep walk so you may be limited to seeing the straightish run to the bridge. The bridge over the track has steps, so you may have to go down behind the start line to cross from car park to the paddock.
Steps or slope up to the club house too. The paddock is also on a slope but is tarmac

Sorry, I'm an idiot.. when I read 'accessibility issues' I naively thought we were talking about a vehicle (hence my response). Yes, if we're talking about people then you're absolutely right. Sorry to the OP as well.

Works fine for me?

Great to be booked in for another Sunday Service.

Any chance we could get a SS at Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb too (great venue & even closer to home )?

Looking forward to seeing what's in the car park on the day

That would be good

Bugger, completely missed this.

It was great fun last year even if the early April weather was a bit crap.

The spectator parking was not ideal in the wet last year.

You should have seen it for the rally day in November

[Moley RUFC]

For those who have been before and been ‘up the hill’ is there a particular entrance you need to come in through on the day to get to the paddock area?

Got my ticket and put myself on the list. Looking forward to it.

Go in the main entrance



You will be asked to go left into the paddock if you have runs booked. You will have an allotted paddock space or club area to park in, confirmed nearer the day.

Need to turn up before hill runs start up as they close this entrance once they do as it form a part of the start queue.

[Moley RUFC]

Thanks Will. I noticed the PH info said 10am but the ticket from Prescott says 9am. Guessing those details will be confirmed nearer the time?

[Evolved]

Gutted. Just seen this. I was booked on last year but didn’t get the car ready in time, so missed it!

I’d have liked to have attended this time. If anyone drops out let me know. I can take the space

Yeah it will be confirmed about a week before with instructions but normally will be something like arrive by 9ish, sign on ASAP, briefing at 09.30-9.45 for hill runs to start at 10

Hill runs are 10-4 with a 1 hour gap in the middle for lunch. Signing on can take a long time as people don't have their licences or haven't completed the online sign on and we will have that running from around half 8. Gates will open at 8am, i recommend that you walk the hill if you have never been before! Details regarding the signing on will go out in the coming weeks and paddock plan/final instructions will appear about 2 weeks before the event.

Yeah, the sign on process seemed to take a long time last year (and I was prepared).

I'd definitely get there early.
