This Sunday sees our competion lads heading to Gurston Down for a classic hill climb. Dave Parker lead last year with his only disappointment being not crossing the finshing line at over 100 mph. He was less than 1 mph under!

This venue is one of the country's leading hill climb venues and with the 40's blasting up the hill, it should make a nice day out for any spectator who wants to see 40's in action.

So, who is going to start the book on Julian spinning again?

But what time? Start/finish, morning/afternoon? I have a busy weekend too, but would like to come if I can, but need to know times so I can fit everything in/juggle things around a bit.

Event is an all day affair. People will be setting up early so chances are you will not be there before at least some of the competitors turn up.

Directions as from the Blue Book are as follows.

Map ref 184/026252
1 mile west of Broadchalke on unclassified road off A354 from Salisbury at Coombe Bisset.

I suspect that as you get closer there will be sign posts specifically for the event.
