Saul Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 6 of us from Fowey went up to Devon today to see the National Hillclimb Association first event of the year. We stopped for breakfast near Poundstock. They thought us old fuckers must be dodgy as we had to pay before they would serve us any food. I personally was flattered that they thought I could do a runner. . It was very nice though and they warmed up after awhile When they realised we were behaving. Trip Stats It was an interesting meet with several interesting bike’s although most seemed to be modified crossers. There was one combination so I guess that won its class. Hartland Point was vey pretty with Lundy Island out on the horizon. Some pretty big balls in terms of pace. Mental buggers. Some interesting stuff in the car park, well to me anyway. Also our little band, my other mate wouldn’t take his Ventura into the field Don’t Blaine him it probably weighed over 300kegs We stopped in Bude for a cuppa on the way home. Had a chance to look at my mates V4 Ventura on the way home. Detuned V-Max motor. Very big bike but beautifully put together. Bloody good day out with the old codgers. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specs Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Nice RR. Brings back the memories. I've been to two events there. A great day out. Were there many contestants? The last time I went there it seemed quiet compared with how it was the time before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I went there it seemed quiet compared with how it was the time before. About 30 as far as I could tell. The whole event had a very village feel to it. Everybody friendly and willing to talk and tell you what was happening. I will definitely go again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
