Werrington Park Hillclimb - 2-3rd May 2009
I was running late on Sunday but still manage to make the Werrington Park Speed Hill Climb just north of Launceston in the border country between Cornwall and Devon. In dry and sunny conditions but with a surprisingly chill breeze there were many fast runs and class records were being matched, if not actually broken. And the surroundings were just magnificent - the artist in me revelled in the colours and the light conditions. The course at Werrington is 1200m long and one of the longest hill climbs in the UK and there were almost 100 cars present, many of them featuring double drives with friends and family competing against each other in the same car. Held over two days, the event attracted competitors from as far afield as Birmingham and constituted a round of the 2009 Cornish Speed Championship, the 2009 Bridge Tires and Wheels Motor Sport ASWMC Hillclimb Championship and the 2009 ACSMC Hamilton classic hillclimb championship. I spent a very pleasant afternoon...
