Hill climbing 2019
Discussion
Inspired a bit by the FIA hillclimb thread on here the other day and by a dim and distant memory of going to a hillclimb years ago I was thinking of trying to catch a round of the UK championship next year.
Living in the fens of Cambridgeshire hillclimbs locally aren't exactly 10 a penny!
To enable a pass out to another car event would require finding somewhere that the Mrs and I could make a weekend of it (i,e, not a sprint on North Weald) so does anyone have any suggestions for location (i'm thinking either Harewood or Prescott) but open to other ideas and also of anywhere decent to make it a nice weekend away?
TIA

Well we went on Sunday and had a great day, the weather obviously helping massively.
Watching from just below the paddock in the morning was good, however it made all the cars look slow even the very fast ones, it was hard to correlate the speed figures with what we were watching! In the afternoon we moved down to Farmhouse and that really highlighted the quick guys, seeing the cars come through between the farm buildings and braking to go round the corner and then trying to get the traction was great.
We had to leave early as we had a 3 hour drive back, it's just a shame that we don't live a bit nearer as the Mrs seemed to enjoy it too (although the night away may have helped).
I did find myself in bed looking at single seat race cars though...
