A cool cloudy morning saw 23 sign up for the Autumn Hill Climb 2014. A clash with a Wiggle Sportif resulted in change to the short course which made the event even more favourable for the young lightweight climbers. A good turnout by Sotonia members saw Phil Wilks take the annual Championship (combined time for Spring and Autumn climbs) in 4 mins 21 secs (spring 2:10/autumn 2:11); second James Peckham in 4 mins 51 secs (2:20 and 2:31); third Sean Holehouse in 5 mins 19 secs (2:32/2:47) the fastest Junior was Ed Rowe in 5 mins 33 secs (2:44/2:49). Congratulations to all.
