Thanks for coming everyone, nice to meet all the new faces and I hope everyone managed to get home safely without cooking too much. We had the 'Andy cake off' and without a doubt it was Andrew-ABC who was the winner, with Andy-aeg coming in second, leaving Andy Westwood a challenge on his next visit. The boyish good looks will have to be on top form, oh and ordering a double sized piece of cake helps too. Here are the rest of my photo's, please add yours too. At Fairway's Garden Centre, Ashbourne our meeting place this morning. Thank you to Dave and Ian for trying to sort out my engine woes, I think you are right about the air leak on the manifold, there is a big sooty section on the right throttle body. Good job Ian has 3 arms and can be a brolly dolly as well. We went our run out on the back lanes of Dove Dale which were just wonderfully empty, skirted Bakewell to finish at Quackers Cafe for cake. Our resident cat, Bagpuss, was missing from Ian's bonnet today, good job that I dressed accordingly, although I don't think I would do well on the bonnet! The Westfield Tractor, like a Lamborghini one only better Another cracking Peak District run out, thank you for joining us and hope to see you next time XXXXXXX

It’s been a while since joining one of @Julie Hall - Joint Peak District AO runs, great to meet up with all of you today. Wow was that a hot day!!

Well ! What a scorcher ☀️ thank you all you our fun in the sun, here’s a few of our pics from the day engineers hiding under a brolly !! the quiet back roads the big blue sky and a nutcase waving his arms about 🤪 take care folks until next time luv Andy & Becky ps BillyP jnr and snr we’re still hiding in the shade waiting for the truck of shame to come and take them home, hope it wasn’t much longer 🙄

Made it back home safely in the end. Fuel pump packed in as we left the garden centre. Spluttered to a stop just before the first roundabout in Ashbourne. There was no clicketty-clack from the fuel pump. Checked fuse and it was fine. Checked wires were still connected and they were. So assumed that fuel pump had packed in. RAC man checked over the car and established that there was power to the fuel pump so it was that that had given up the ghost. Just had to wait for a trailer then. Was quite warm so waited under a nearby tree. Thanks to those who stopped from the club. And especially the lady who brought us a couple of cans of pop because she passed and thought we looked thirsty! At least it is a quick and easy fix and shouldn't keep us off the road at all.

Glorious.

What great day thank you Julie and Glen. The route was great the was great and of course the company was great too. We meet Billy on the side of the road about 200 yards from the garden centre on the way home. (15.00hrs) wait for the AA truck. Hope you didn't wait much longer Billy.

Looking forward to the run out today in the peaks! Especially as I will be debuting my New livery. This is just for you Alistair Smiler Jones. Think you are onto something?

I nearly got the 'sponge of shame' as I had a fuel leak this morning. New hoses and clips ordered ready for next weekend. It's one of those days I think, at least everyone got home safe. The photo's are lovely, we create quite a queue at a junction so that also makes for a good photo opportunity that I don't get. I will do that again where I give out a postcode for further on in the route, then at least we have a good chance of staying together. You all did well today, we must have looked quite a sight in a long line of cars.

Sorry I didn't make the main run, but good to catch up with everyone sitting in the hedge for lunch. A few pictures- including the two navy V8's- mine on the left and Andy's on the right Thanks for arranging a good day out Julie.

Great to see you all this morning, sorry I couldn't get out on the run.... probably just as well, as 10 miles from home the clutch pedal decided to not operated the clutch any more 😂 Luckily my late father had taught me to clutchless change as a learner driver (which seemed sheer torture at the time 😂) so with a carefully planned route (avoiding traffic lights!) and starting her in 1st I've managed to limp her home.... investigations are about to commence! 🤦‍♂️

Fantastic run out really nice meeting everyone thank you for making us feel welcome can't wait for the next one look forward to seeing you all again soon 😎

Thanks, looks like the clutch master cylinder had thrown a wobbler, so have a new 0.625 on order from compbrake 👍 @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AOhas changed his and the pedal weight is much better so it was on the upgrade list anyway 😂

Have a great day everyone.. It's going to be a scorcher

Between Tan Hill and Barnard Castle

Fuel pump failure Billy said Dave

Great day and a great run. Sorry to hear of your woes Bill, what happened? (And hope you’re home safe now!)

A load of us have done them Rob. It should be how it’s done from the start. Transforms basic drivability of the car.

Hope it's easily fixed Rob. I didn't stay for lunch as I wanted to get back for the GP. Traffic was horrible and I had to give the old girl some stick when I could. Walked in halfway through the formation lap but needn't have rushed. Thanks Julie (and everyone) good fun as always. Too hot on the way home to Worcester though. I was baked after 2 hours in the car and my phone actually overheated and shut itself down! Didn't know that was a thing.....

Out meeting the Peaky Blinders! And then the aftermath 😂

I'm really jealous to be missing this one - probably the sunniest Sunday of the year so far. I only got my bodywork back on Friday afternoon - tub is already on the chassis, but still lots of work to do to get it up and running. Hoping to have it done by the end of the month. Have a good day

Without doors you could use arm signals 😎🤣

Out checking your eyesight? 🤣

@BillyPee glad you got home safe, wasn't a great day for reliability today! On the bright side, neither of us had anything fall off, so no "magnet of shame" at the next meet 😂

not a cloud in the sky today Fab run over to Settle then back via the Viaduct and over the Trough.

Have a fab day everyone. It's a lovely day for CAKE!

This works a treat & also takes all the discolouration off.

Take them both off.

Last time I posted on this the car was a chassis on tressles. Now almost IVA ready, Iam itching to go out 😎👍🏼

Thanks for organising @BigSkyBrad

Just something a bit different here’s us still out, but nearly home at 11.30pm ish after a great evening out to meet friends for fish n chips

Drove the Westfield to work today. Slipping away early to visit a customer. 😉 I stumbled across this Farm.

Sorry to one and all... I didn't mean to offend but I was just thinking about what draws the WSCC crowd to the event Travelling big distances for some might seem too much. Can we not get a decent barbeque going and some decent beer for people to enjoy - even if we have to pay for it?? My Westy has been sold but I have some clutter to dispose of eg Westfield World's going back to the year dot. I'd be happy to bring these and more stuff down provided a donation was made to charity The lack of info from Grosvenor is unhelpful but I'm sure the organising team can sort something out. I remain confident that the WSCC can sort something out that will make the longer journeys so much more worthwhile.

Gutted I missed this one with the weather and all, but had to work😒 looked like a good day out!
