I have looked in T R Nicholson's book "Sprint" but it does not add much. For the first 1907 event it says "The Cardiff Motor Club found a fitting course on which to hold the first open hillclimb in Wales. It lay on the Mountain Road at Caephilly, was 1194 yards long, averaged 1-in-8.6 and rose to 1-in-6.2". References to later events imply it was the same course in use. For the last 1924 event it says "a surface even looser than usual added to the hill's horrors. Several tyres burst and other things broke including Raymond May's two Bugattis"
