Following our President's ideal Land's End Trial in 'Triple' I thought that I would go and have a look at the Trengwainton Hill Climb course as it was Easter Monday today. I have put some photos (I hope) on the website to show what it is now like! It was 40 years according to my records , that our President took his 997cc Morris Cooper up in 27.10 seconds and won his class and 29 years since I last competed at the last event ( my first year was the same year as our President!)
I can say that the course was severley overgrown, but nothing seemed to be growing up through the concrete course. There were many pine trees where the spectator areas used to be, but these were now dying off so cutting them down would not be an environmental disaster. The start line marks are still there, I should remember them well as I used to set up the timing gear in the later years -----Just a memory???
