Pleased to find I have a ride at this meeting.
Bugatti Owners Club, Classic, Members and Motorcycles day at Prescott
hill climb, Gotherington. 5 miles from Cheltenham.
First time at this hill on the Tart so it will be interesting to see if
can get anywhere near my best Nordwest and Husky 610 times.
NHCA championship round, so the fast boys on their singles will be
there, plus an eclectic mix of four wheelers including presumably some
Bugs.
Unfortunately no passes available as it is a bit of a steep entry fee
for spectators.

Pete Fisher came into sight through the beans and said
Christ, my get a glasses upgrade, I scanned that as Prescott Climb
Sunday. The thought of a bunch of wizened mountainers climbing ol' 2
jags fair gave me the shivvers, won't sleep a wink now.

I am always a good chap and get there the official way, rather than
through Gotherington village, and my tow car is sooo quiet.
Otherwise this might be an offer hard to refuse.

I've not been to the hill climb for 20 years, but I might try and make
an effort seeing as you'll be there.

Now that you come to mention it, the amount of grey hair revealed when
helmets are removed in a NHCA paddock is statistically significant.
Having said that, one or two of the slightly less wizzened ones than me
can still press on a bit.
In any case, as WUN so perceptively pointed out, there are other
divertissements to be possibly enjoyed. Posh totty quotient v. high at
Prescott and perhaps a few might be on the look out for an eligible
bachelor like Champ.
As Brownz said, it is a very pleasant venue. An interesting ambience,
particularly if the weather is good and the hampers and champers brigade
are in evidence, that was once described in MCS as a cross between
watching test match cricket and F1.

heh. Nice idea, but hill-climbing is quite a specific art.

We biker boys are very considerate, naturally, but beware that if you
are out on horseback early in the morning you could meet a somewhat
rorty Harley that is ridden to meetings.
