Hill Climbed Out

Last weekend’s Prescott event marked the end of the 2008 hill climb season.
The hefty single seaters may have been North of the Border at Doune but we were still treated to a heady mixture of varied cars and fine weather for the last Midlands hoorah of the year.
Ian and Jodie collected me at 7.00 for a foggy trip down. (Cheers for driving, Ian) I left them at the marshall’s pound signing on before meeting up with the other emaciated photographers for our final cooked breakfast of the season.
Once the fog lifted, TVRs, Morgans, Triumphs etc got cracking and, despite a day of incidents, we managed to finish on time.

As the '08 season draws to a close, a big thanks to the officials at all the venues for inviting me trackside and for the drivers for providing the entertainment and many a good chat. I’m also immensely grateful to the marshals for keeping me alive and providing cake, sweets and tons of laughs. Finally, cheers to all my fellow photographers for sharing coffee, bacon and gossip.
The winter recess will allow me to regroup, install a bigger hard-drive in the Mac, sort out an even more intense back-up facility, catalogue my image library and plan next year’s campaign.

Take care everyone and I’ll see you at Loton at Easter.
