As more than 400 vehicles gear up for the Kop Hill Climb this weekend (September 17 and 18), we take a look back at some of the highs and highs of years gone by.

Last year, the climb broke records, raising £75,000 for charity and drawing crowds of more than 16,000.

Now in its eighth year, organisers hope the event will be bigger and better than ever.
