Kop Hill Climb 14-15th September
- Thread starter BMWZ4MC
- Start date
How close to Risborough - my parents live fewer than five miles away and my sister is walking distance from Kop Hill.
My BIL knows just about everyone in PR and has lived there all of his life, so it’s quite likely you encountered each other in your 40 years.
The original Hill Climb stopped about 100 years ago and was then restarted about 15 years ago, so you might have missed it when you were a local.

I've been to the Gravity GP a few times and it's a bit of fun, usually with a crash or two, plus the proceeds go to the Air Ambulance. There's a pub near the top of the course and another at the bottom that sometimes has a live band after the event. 
My mate will probably go to the Kop tomorrow as he knows someone who is competing just the one day. Depending when I leave the Ace Cafe I might go straight there.

I grew up in Lane End (the other direction to you), then lived in Stokenchurch (around 100 yards from where Fred lives; firebobby) but didn't know him until on here.BMWZ4MC said:
I did my motorcycle training in Beaconsfield at 16 (Mum insisted on it way before CBT was invented) in 1984.
I also have friends in Cookham Dean! They are my only 'rich friends'.
My first proper girlfriend lived in Beaconsfield (new town not the posh bit).
Moved away in 2009 to a much cheaper part of the Country, but will always be a Bucksy Boy.

I hadn’t realised there’s a Zed meet at the Ace Cafe tomorrow. It rather limits you to Sunday for either Kop Hill or Cookham.
The timetable for the hill climb looks very similar on both days, so I might well split my weekend between the two.
I’m not sure my kids would want to go to the Ace Cafe Zed meet in an RS4!
My parents live in Bledlow Ridge and I had a girlfriend in Cadmore End. In fact, I was in Stokenchurch only yesterday and enjoyed a blast up Aston Hill in the rain :driving:Pondrew said:I grew up in Lane End (the other direction to you), then lived in Stokenchurch (around 100 yards from where Fred lives; firebobby) but didn't know him until on here.BMWZ4MC said:

Do you mean the A40? That is now known as Aston Hill but apparently it isn't the Aston Hill from Aston Martin. The parallel hill, now called Kingston Hill (which comes out in Kingston Blount). was the hill that Mr Martin used to test his cars.BMWZ4MC said:
I have no idea if the above is true; it could just be local folklore, but that is what I was told many years ago. Bloke in the pub said, so it must be true! :lol:

I've been posting about it for most of the year and it's been running for about 5 years
oke: 
Feel free to pop in, even in an old Audi, to meet a few of us.
I know Pondrew's brother if memory serves me well, we were in the Territorial army together.
I grew up around High Wycombe, mostly Booker.
I moved to Stokenchurch nearly 40 years ago.
I’ve had my head in the (Australian) sand, and haven’t checked the meetings section much because most people seem reluctant to travel to Sydney for lunch!firebobby said:You didn't know about the Ace Cafe meeting!!BMWZ4MC said:Mr Tidy said:I've been to the Gravity GP a few times and it's a bit of fun, usually with a crash or two, plus the proceeds go to the Air Ambulance.
