<p>Kop Hill Climb 2026<br />
<br />
The climb was established in 1910 and continued until 1925 when, due to a minor accident involving a spectator, the RAC stewards stopped the meeting and, within a week, declined to grant any further permits for high-speed contests on public roads in the UK.<br />
<br />
The last competitive event on public roads was held on 28 March 1925, making the Kop Hill Climb the last competitive race run on a public highway in the UK.<br />
<br />
The event was revived in 2009 at Kop Hill as a non-competitive charity event celebrating the history of cars and motorcycles.<br />
<br />
Throughout the day, exhibitors climb the hill with cars and motorcycles to entertain the spectators in the grandstand and on the viewing platforms.<br />
<br />
The climb is 903 yards (826 m) long.<br />
<br />
The event takes place on a public road. The gradient is 1:6, leading to 1:5, with a short 1:4 at its steepest at the top of the climb.<br />

<p>A portly common wood pigeon on my left hand side garden fence as viewed from my kitchen window ornithology observation post.<br />
<br />
Common wood pigeons are a very common sight in my rear yard particularly early in the mornings.<br />
<br />
This chap is a regular visitor to my garden however I feel a bit sorry for him as he doesn't appear to have a mate.<br />
<br />
The common wood pigeon is classified as LC (Least Concern) on the  International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) conservation list.<br />

<p>I have no idea how many photos I have taken of the Millennium footbridge and St Paul's Cathedral but it has to be well over 100 and among my most photographed places in London. <br />
<br />
I love old St Pauls photos taken with the much newer Millennium Bridge. <br />
<br />
The Millennium Bridge was used in the movie &quot;Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince&quot; so I expect that is why crowds of younger people used wait to take photos of it. <br />
<br />
It is a lovely walk from Westminster Bridge along the south side of the river Thames to Tower Bridge. Sadly I am no longer able to make this walk. <br />
