A Top Bank Holiday Weekend, and of course it rained as expected.
Thanks again Stephen for putting so much effort into it, throughly enjoyable. I think it was a great privelage for the RAOC to be hosted by the BOC, Prescott is certainly the countrys top venue. The hill was certainly a challenge and I'm really glad we had the change to compete on it.
Looking forward to Le Mans now........

It is a very impressive / professional location and I doubt any of the other main hillclimbing locations have improved that much in the last 10/15 years since I've visited most of them.
Is it the best one to drive?..... Everyone has theirown favorites.

Ive never been so I cant judge, but Harewood is pretty slick these days as is Shelsley Walsh...... if you posted the comment on a hillclimb forum you'd get a massive debate!!!! Its Doune for me every time.....the most challenging on the mainland I believe (again....I'm sure some would say it was Loton or Harewood, or even Forrestburn!!).
Anyway......what about these times, photos and reports??

As you say "Everyone has their own favourites" but I can mention one, a bit biased really as over the past 5-6 years Gurston Down has been resurfaced, new shower/toilet block, nice new restaurant club house, WiFi instant result service and for 2007 100% hard standing for all competitors plus lots of small little things that help to run a hillclimb.
