PM me if you want a high resolution copy.

If you feature let me know your name / picture number as I might send some of them off to Arrivee - I could do with the twenty quid they give you for publishing pictures.

DSC_0214133 and 134 would be me - and thankfully, not looking too desperate! Thank you for not positioning yourself at the steep bit lower down where I was walking.

Great pics!

That's me at 0133053 to 5.

When I saw you had a camera I thought I'd look dreadful (I felt very hot) but at least I managed a smile!

26 - 28 is me.

Ditto. On the steepest part of the climb there was no shade and we were sheltered from the breeze. If you look a couple of pictures earlier you'll see me trying to mop the perspiration up a bit and practice my best 'arrivee' smile, although maybe a black cap was not the best choice for such a warm, hilly day out. :sick:

Now I'm all upset  :'( My 1st ever successful climb of this hill but you must have been long gone by the time I arrived, along with the Willesden and Finsbury Park gang. Great photos nonetheless and I've forwarded the link to our local Wessex CTC riders - thanks   :thumbsup:

I liked http://www.flickr.com/photos/charlieandariane/5606287069/in/set-72157626344641103 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/charlieandariane/5606287069/in/set-72157626344641103). I don't think he was sure if regulations required mudguards or not.

Sorry LadyVet, my memory card filled up because like a muppet I forgot to empty it before setting out. Well done anyway, it's fairly steep in places, as my worn cleats testify!

Hoping life can be organised so as I can enter this.
Did it last year - and thoroughly enjoyed, even though finished near the back of the field.
Lighter bike and (slightly) fitter body should make the hills a little less taxing.   
Abbotsbury nearly did for me last year because I was being blinded by the volumes of sweat pouring into my eyes.

I've entered the Coastlet this year - AGES since I rode this (except the hill up to Hardy's monument, of course  ;)). With the ride out and back, it'll be 100 miles + I think. 'Twill be enough  ::-)
