Challenging course, totally informal, excellent beer, delightfully idiosyncratic - but sadly hasn't been held for some thirty years now, and the site is surrounded by houses.

Now I've made myself feel old....
Although I loved Gurston, Longleat, Harewood etc, I love Valence School and the one run by Hasting MC years ago, Bodium, in Sussex. There also used to be one at Folkestone years ago,

It was the people who competed in hillclimbing as well as the marshals and spectators. They all had the right attitude and it was a laid back fun day.
