NHA Heartland Point Devon

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.
