Behind the scenes at 2018 Hillclimb

“A picture speaks a thousand words”. Organizing the hillclimb was a labour of love and  well received by practically all participants and spectators. We’ve handpicked a couple of last year’s most telling photographs in the hopes of illustrating what the hillclimb is all about. Please do check back for we will be adding even better ones.
