RAIN.... what rain?!??!!

The 2021 GK&MC Petit Bot Hill Climb was the wettest I can remember... and there have been a few of those!

Conditions deteriorated as the torrential rain set in which led to the inevitable... the Clerk of the Course called an early finish. This was warmly received by the marshals who were soaked through.

It's no exaggeration to say that when faced by strong wind and torrential rain working as a bespectacled photographer entails continual wiping of lenses, viewfinder and glasses. I find that I miss more shots than normal and sometimes I have to shoot almost blind, trusting the camera to find the focus!

Also looking after and protecting the cameras is important but the knowledge that these wet days often provide great pics means we just have to take our chances.

So with the rain dripping down my back and my waterproofs failing in their waterproofness and the steamed up viewfinder the day was challenging and very uncomfortable, but a memorable one.

After completing the edit I think it was worth the endurance because as I had hoped I captured a few cracking shots.

And now I've had a shower and a beer it was an (almost) enjoyable day!! Follow this link to view the very wet 2021 Petit Bot hill climb:
