They also run a hill climb training day once a month with lunch thrown in with several runs up the hill during the day. I may give it a go myself
sometime, looks like fun.

Gurston Down is on the Downs!
It also starts with a downhill section I believe. It's certainly a mainstay in the hillclimbing calendar and well worth a look.

The down hill bit is quite awe inspiring due to it's length and steepness.
What adds to this is the ess bend at the bottom of that section which in a lot of cars is taken flat chat without a lift after accelerating balls out
down the hill.
More heart in the mouth than taking Crossing at Shelsley 'flat'
