Doune National Championship hillclimb 16/17th September

[jwhillracer]

We can't make it to Bo'ness again this year unfortunately, but we're going to Doune for the Championship event a fortnight later.
Great event, really well organised, and a mind-blowing course.
Anyone else going?? Raymond? Johnny? Brendan? Kitten?
If not entering, just come along to hurl abuse and enjoy the craic!

Cheers!

Not doing it but may try and get up and check it out. Good luck and let's up the weather is kind.

[jwhillracer]

Yes, do come and check it out Brendan. The course and the speed of the British Championship top 12 runners are amazing!

Hi Jonathan

I might have a wee go at Doune this year before Kit goes for some very light restoration work at the end of the month. I was blethering to one of the organisers at Bo'ness and even though the entry list is closed it should be possible for a very late entry. Weather dependent, I'll apply a few days before. Fingers crossed hope to see you then.

Brilliant! We're just leaving, hope to be there Fri mid-day.
See you there!
JW

[jwhillracer]

Try to get there as soon as you can on Friday so that you can walk the hill and see where everything is, there's a lot to take in!
You will get a guided tour up the hill on Saturday morning with one of the organising team.
Building up to a great weekend!

See you both on Saturday

[jwhillracer]

Arrived and set up. Car 40, double driving with Laura as usual.
See you later Margaret!

Back from a interesting day at Doune. Great to see Jonathan after 3/4 years and meet Laura as well and of course Margaret. My second time at the event, I think the last time was in the mid 80's.

Here's a clue to the day to start off....

Here Margaret going up the hill.

And here's her back down



Good news is that Margaret is in good spirits and improved by over 10 seconds on her final run of the day. She was planning to replace the front wings during the winter anyway!

And here's Jonathan heading up the hill and as you can see from picture it's a hill.
