Kop Hill 2011

September 24th & 25th saw the third Kop Hill Climb revival at Princes Risborough. The organisers were blessed with 2 days of unseasonally sunny weather although it did mean cars left with a souvenir coating of dust. This year's event was noticably busier than last year with more viewing platforms lining the hill and a large increase in the number of spectators.
