Gorilla Hill Climb

Gorilla Hill Climb

A great turn for the annual Gorilla Hill Climb , with Craig Gale winning the men's category and Rachel Brown winning the women's . Honourable mentions must go to Phil Hood , for riding a child's steel vintage bike up the climb for our chosen charity of the year ( The Menopause Charity) and to Paul Astin for wheelie-ing some of the way up the climb and still getting an amazing time! Also a big thankyou to James Barber for braving the conditions to stand on the slopes of Lea End Lane to take photos of the participants as they passed by.
