The Chiltern Hilltop Run

The Chiltern Hilltop Run on Sunday June 11th , which had been carefully planned by Steve from Chinnor in the preceding weeks.
Start point was the Lambert Arms Hotel on the A40, just close to J6 of the M40. It has a lighthouse in the garden so you can't miss it !!
There were Bacon butties and coffee on hand at the start, as organised by Steve, with a landlord keen to show us all his facilities. This as a possible new meeting venue for the future, a quick poll of those present met with approval. Plenty of side rooms, and separate bars, no television, and a spacious lawn that he allows all sorts of cars clubs to park on.
We were joined by Peter Bell, and Stephen Altwasser from the Herts group, for our journey which was to end in a rendezvous with John and Helen Tween and the Herts group at the Grand Junction Arms, in Bulbourne.. Also along was Peter Wright in his good-looking MGB.
After photo's, Steve gave a briefing of the route and handed out direction notes .
A climb up the first of the two 'Aston' hills, on the main A40, with plenty of roadwidth and sweeping curves , was very satisfying, and only ended with a stop to turn into a narrower road for the descent.
We rode on through Chinnor, until the roller coaster ride over Chinnor's speed humps took a toll on Peter Bell's 2b, which died on a narrow section, bringing everyone to a halt, delaying one or two non-sympathisers who then forced their way past hurriedly.
The vibrations had loosened Peter's HT lead , which was quickly spotted and he was soon back in action.
A short ride on, and we assembled for the next photo prior to the climb up Kop Hill. Nice sweeping road again, narrower this time,through trees with the hot sun flashing intermittently, and the descent was just as curvy.
Hope we get to do this run out again soon
