The Classic MotorCycle

Sketchbook Travels at the: Kop Hill Glimb

This month's sketches come from the glorious Kop Hill Climb. During this event, the town of Princess Risborough is over taken by both cars and motorcycles, veteran, vintage, classic and modern. The locals line the main road leading to the event in order to see the participants return to the paddock via the town centre, while thousands of people spend time between the grandstand, paddock and the various other displays for a great family day out. In 2019, the event celebrated its 10th anniversary and, as ever, the turnout of people and machinery was fantastic.
