Thanks for organising another great day @Julie Hall - Peak District AO A few more photos:

I don't have the magnet, but I do have this....

Dark n wet up here, just away to head off.

First snippet from me. How not to do it.

Happy Birthday Memories from your previous outings with a pink cat. Have a good one

Fixed.

Have a great day! Don't forget it's drive your Westie to work day too! @Stu Faulkner🍺 I hope you've had a 'How to park your Westie' Book for your birthday?

Few more pics I went down to see if I could see who was driving the green car, but there was nobody home.

We've recruited another local member for the convoy ! @Russ Bridgewater

Happy birthday to Stu and your happy feet

i need better waterproofs!

I'm hoping to bring a convoy from Stoke-on-Trent @David Bennett & @David lear

Pit stop before heading to Braemar....

Thought you might like this - the write up just about sums us up!!

Hi all, I have just taken the leap and jumped aboard the Westfield train with a Megablade 919cc. It would be great to hear about local members, meetings and specialists.

there's something about their webshop I really like, just can't quite put my finger on it :-)

After a wet day in Scotland.. England was dry!

Back home now.. Drove down an annoying amount of dry A68, with the sun coming out just to really pee me off! Having said that, I really enjoyed the in car stuff, but hanging around in damp clothes aint much fun is it. 😞 I'll call that another not completely wet day, as I got slicks on briefly, so maintaining my 100% never had a total wash out at Knockers. 😉 @Gary Taylor .. your bra straps are showing! 🙂

Just home, now to get a hot shower and dry out a few pics that sammy took

Sneak over, they'll not notice!

I had a great time, I also enjoy a damp day!

Knockhill in the wet can be fun, hope all cars made it home safe and well wetted, I like a wet day you get plenty of clear track time, only down side is you need good wets if you are going to do knockhill wet day's ,one of the hold ups in me getting to the track with the car, next few months and I should have got my s together and be there pumping in the laps rather than p******** about doing road miles , I need back to the track its been to long.

Happy birthday Stuart. 🎂🍻

Happy birthday Stu 😊🎂🍺

I will be there.

Great day guys, cheerio!

Ive just acquired a vast Vinyl Album collection, I know theres some rare pieces here, anyone into albums? Id love to have this thread where I post up a couple of covers and se what people know about them, trust me theres some bizarre stuff, Captain Beafheart has almost turned me to drugs 😂 then I listened to some more and realised that's probably why it sounds so psychedelic and (I don't actually have a word!) Im still sitting in my office at 7:20 on a Friday, after cobbling together the Dual turntable, Denon Amp and Tannoy Speakers!

Many a happy Returns Stu, have a great Birthday!

Ready for the off, now I’m here, fed, watered and chilling out ready for tomorrow’s fun.

Crossing into the North this afternoon with @Rush Motorsport

Bacon butty stop at Glenshee

Does he think it must be some kind of record?

Thanks Julie for another great drive and splendid views though the Peak district. I don't know how you keep finding these fantastic routes. It was great to meet everyone again and catch up.

A SUPER turnout from Dave, despite him not being fully CHARGED, just glad you got home safe and hope the AGM went well. Thank you for bringing out 'Bluebird,' well it's the same colour and will go nearly as fast as Donald Campbell's car now. A big welcome goes to James, his first run to the Peak District in his lovely green, Zetec engined Westfield, good choice of car. Also joining us was Andrew, Andy W and Andy and Becky, Bill Senior and Bill Junior, Chris Emm and Ian. That made 9 cars and 12 people meeting at Quackers. Soon expanded when Simon, our Speed Series King, surprised us by turning up with the family. Brilliant, oh it was so lovely to see you all enjoying yourselves, a taste of normality. Cake tasted great too, and yes, Andy Westwood did indeed get the biggest piece of Rolo cake. Don't mention the Rolo! It didn't survive sitting next to me! with my modestly sized almond and rasperry slice After a catch up, my you have all been busy working on your cars, we followed my new Morridge Ridgeline route that I had jiggled a bit from last time by putting us in the opposite direction. We were now going up hill and had the views right in front of us. We were on high ground for most of the way and under the black clouds but it didn't rain enough to put a roof on. We arrived at The Royal Oak, Hurdlow and did the panorama dance The tents are heated and the car parking plentiful Unfortunately the food was not plentiful, they were not serving it, so back in the cars and 2 minutes over the road to the old favourite The Bull I' Thorn. Now why did I change it from there, Julie just stick to cafes. Not quite enough room for Chris to park with us at The Bull Thanks for coming everyone, I see the sun belted out all afternoon when we got home but hey ho. Next weekend is the Bank Holiday so our run out will be avoiding the tourist routes and the chosen day will be decided by the weather but we will meet at 10am at QUACKERS cafe. No run out the weekend after (5th and 6th June) as we are off to the Lake District for a week.

I wasn't planning to attend today, due to 2nd Covid Jab at 9:00am at JCB. However as I washed the tin top earlier, the weather was looking like it was drying up and a plan was hatched. Go for the jab in the Westie and go and find my peaky friends after! A great day was had, despite the weather being soggier than planned. Bagpuss achieved a notable milestone today! As always, @Julie Hall - Peak District AO found some great, quiet roads:

Nothing quite that simple, but right area. 😆 The locknut nearest the bulkhead on the master cylinder pushrod had worked loose somehow. (Was definitely tight, I remember checking it.) and during the run out, eventually began winding itself back up the pushrod towards the bulkhead. As it got closer to the bulkhead, I moved from having too much clutch drag to change gear reliably, to not really having it release at all! Finger tightening it when I spotted it, gave full pedal again. Will use some threadlock this time! However, it really does reinforce a point I usually make talking to others, and that I was just as guilty as, while out at the meet. DO NOT assume you know what the problem is, and that it’s something big/expensive/difficult to reach etc. Start with the basics and work up. Much of the time it is something simple and basic. I needed to get back for the AGM anyway, so wasn’t going to do the full run/lunch. But if I’d followed my own advice in the car park, at best I’d have done a bit of the run, and worst case, I’d have had an easy run home, instead of one of the worst most concerning runs I’ve ever had in a Westfield. (think supercharged S2000, in the rain, on a basic shake down engine map, with no/limited clutch, a lightweight flywheel, and at times only third, talk about concentrating the mind!!)

Came across another westfield today out near Market Rason.

It’s like an otters pocket
