Honda Fever hit the Peak District today, first Scott arrived in his S2000 engined car
Soon to be followed by Ian in his S2000 engined car
with Paul and Pat in the GT86 and my decidedly small Zetec, that made 4 cars, not bad for 2 days before Christmas. Don't mention the wonky parking.
A Tesla, I think a Model S, with a number plate TESSLA, silently pulled into the car park and waved at us. This ex-Lotus 7 owner had just driven up from London and was breaking his journey with a visit to the Peak District, needless to say, he loved our cars. I am sure he loved our noise as we roared past him too (he was parked, I don't mean overtaking him).
We wiggled our way up some lovely, empty country roads until we found the bank of fog. I was reconsidering todays route in my head and suddenly, we were back in sunshine, so I stuck with the original plan. Out of Buxton and then I slowed the whole thing down, so we could enjoy the views, then it was up the one way road and on to the ice cream farm. It was here where Scott and Ian had a 'who can have the dirtiest car' competition. Honestly, did you guys somehow drive on a different road to me?
Blaze Ice Cream Farm, including one relatively clean Westfield.
The main objective of the day was to eat ice cream, so after lunch we all excitedly decided which flavour we were going to have. Scott couldn't decide, so he went for the double cone and had 2 flavours, clever man. I chose the Baileys Ice Cream and I got the same hit at the back of my mouth that you get when you drink Baileys, luscious.
When we came back out, a lot of the fog had lifted.
Ian was quick to ask if this is where the Westfield XI is kept
Decisions, decisions, and this is only half of the range on offer.
The festive Little Donkey
Look at me, I am a cute depositor of detritus.
As we dropped down off the tops, we drove back into sunshine, which made for a pretty route home back via Cromford, where we all divided up. Home, that is, in time to get the car washed before the light faded, 'before all that muck dries on' says Glen.
Thanks for coming everyone, I hope you have enjoyed the roads as much as we have and hope to see you all again soon .
