That won't come out pt I….
….told ya.
Yer slow shutter speed is too slow!
11:30-ish and we're in The Paddock.
This is Scott Moran (tightening his nuts) and Alex Summers who now share this 3,500cc Gould GR61X - NME, now Roger Moran has retired from hill climbing.
Blossom and cars: our glorious spring continues.
It never ceases to amaze that Vicky, even when surrounded by cars and 'bikes, can spot a Golden Labrador (look closely) in the back of a van from 50 paces.
Making friends with Zeus.
We could be here for some time.
It's approaching midday now and we need to get to the Bugatti Club House for a snack.
A pastry and tea for Vicky and a cheese and bacon pasty and tea for David.
£7 the lot. Bargain.
We shall come here again.
It's approaching the lunch break and the 'bikes are on the hill.
Martyn Robbins (from Worcester - note sparks from left boot) looks quick on his 637cc KTM.
That won't come out pt II…...
….not too bad. Yer getting better.
This is Marc and Simon Foster on their FII Honda 600.
How to have legal fun in a production saloon.
12:30-gone now and we are at Pardon Hairpin.
Hmmm, Vicky has got distracted yet again.
This time by a bluebell wood.
Oh, very Pogle's Wood.
Meanwhile, behind Vicky's back, cars continue to hurtle up the hill.
Now what's Vicky taking a photo of……?
…..aha! It's a view of the hill.
Very 'edge of The Cotswolds'.
It's 1:15 and the last car before lunch approaches The Esses.
Time to nip back to the car for our turkey-mayo sammidges washed down with a carton of orange juice.
Don't ask how we got our Lancer up here, but we did.
On previous visits we've always managed to park quite easily on the flat land below but this time the club has devoted half of that land to competitors motorhomes and what not.
Our advice, if you are thinking of coming to Prescott, is to get here nice and early.
Vicky's view from the top of the hill looking north-west-ish.
Things start up again at 2:00pm and we spend about an hour watching the action from Orchard Corner which brave drivers (and riders) take flat out, evidently.
This is Richard Brown in his 1137cc Turbo OMS CF07 - Honda.
At 3:10pm it's time to go 'cos we've gotta get back up the M5 to Droitwich to do the 'big shop'.
It's 4:00pm and we are safe and sound in 'the big shop' and enjoying a well-deserved cuppa tea.
Only our second since we left home at 10:15 this morning.
We're not as young as we were!
