Chasing the sun on the way home tonight

An absolute blast this afternoon/ evening. Headed off just after 12 to monifieth to meet Dave, Ann and their westy. Took all the back roads and then the coastal road south in glorious sunshine . Stayed a bit longer than intended and stopped for a mcd’s and fuel then it was retrace my steps chasing the setting sun . I really forgot how exhilarating it is driving the westy in the dark, cold but fun as the temperatures plummeted with the sun . Just short of 300 miles today. Anyway great to meet up and shamefully forgot to get a picture there , guess I’ll have to go back 😃 but here’s a couple of others.

Good run out today, we had the weather and stayed dry! 5 cars and 6 people, so we managed to stay in the "rule of 6" met at Squires cafe and started the run up to Hemsley, going the back way to York. We managed to stay together and not get split up in the morning tourist traffic. Arriving in Helmsley, we managed to get parked in the market square, and the discovery of 20 minutes free parking was a bonus. Getting something to eat was a bit of a challenge due to queuing, but a meal deal from the co-op did just fine. I asked if anyone had been to the White Horse at Kilburn, Des wanted to know if they served a decent pint and a pie, but it doesn't as it's a White Horse cut into the hillside under the gliding club, so we went there next. Narrow roads and a 25% gradient was a bit hairy, and the Land Rover wasn't going to stop (see the coming video). A chat and photos done and we were off again. Fuel stop in Thirsk and down the A19 to York and the Motorist for a coffee. It was closed, so back to Squires with a near miss with from artic nearly saw a 5 car pile up, GoPro not recording for that unfortunately. The cars created a lot of interest amongst the bikers, as they always do. A good day out, and thanks for coming.

Breaking covid news.........major new discovery by scientists that by strictly following the new '14 day rule of one' the virus can be eliminated.

A compelling argument ... 😅 After last night's false labour and me as the driver I guess that answers it for me.... 🤔 I need to stay close to home. I hope you have a good day 👍🏻

Not to lead you astray but .... decent weekends will get less, after Thursday free time will get less and in company there’s help to get things sorted so where do you want to meet up ? 😉 Bridge of Alford at 1pm ? my number 07715554020 and leave it at home too, just in case.

My mates building an a series hill climb mini ...........his banter is strong bless him

Just wanted to say how good it is to be back as a WSCC member! I bought an old (1989 chassis) SEiW around 10 years ago. I owned if for 6 years and in that time had many rounds of upgradeitous. I sold the car 4 years ago and regretted it pretty much immediately. A month ago I managed to track down the owner and bought it back! Many people asked why but my first drive put a huge grin on my face - it has a Dunnell 1800 Zetec that I purchased through this site when originally a member. Why this club is so good is the willingness of people to help out And share info. I just rebuilt the entire back end which is the old style English diff with Westfield case and uprights. I managed to track down all the bearings, seals, spec and information from very helpful club members and old threads. So thanks all, it’s a great club to be a part of.

How’s this?

A bit to much front brake bias

Ready for Knockhill.

Nice drive up the Burway (single track) road up and over the Long Mynd with @CosKev this week. Stunning views, sheep, wild horses and hang gliders...
