Finally got round to sorting the new harnesses out, only need to tighten the front cycle wings that worked their way loose after the last track day!

Sat on @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO driveway, just making sure he has not sold Bagpuss for spare or repairs. I can confirm that Bagpuss is safe and well, sat in the garage, waiting to pounce.😃

Now look here chaps, this is getting rather out of hand. After feeding the 5,000 on Saturday evening because the farm cafe closed at 7pm, Martin cooked up supper from our breakfast supplies plus a tin of soup for poor Ritchie who wasn’t capable of eating solids, and a loaf of bread from Glynn’s caravan, I thought we all did rather well to consume the amount of alcohol we apparently did. There is no truth in the rumour circulating that Martin has gone on tour with his local orchestra to Bermuda having had his triangle confiscated at customs. It is however true that he is still able to surf the internet (not much call for surf in Bermuda) as he is still buying parts off the club site. Unless of course it’s a member posing as Martin Letts having hijacked his account. Although why anyone would want to do that escapes me. Hopefully Martin will be technologically restored after he’s recovers his triangle from Customs. A good way to celebrate the end of an era as we heard when packing up on Sunday that next year the show is moving to Newark. Thank you everyone who was there for a most enjoyable time.

Thanks @Julie Hall - Joint Peak District AO for organising another wonderful jaunt round the Peaks, @NigelO for the drone shots, and everyone else who made it a special day.

Stuart didn't make it so we hope you felt better eventually. Quackers, a great meeting place for Westfields. Luke and Gemma(below) joined us for a short while at Quackers. Gemma came in a tin top with their daughter Bryony while Luke came in his V8 Westfield, what a great Westfield Wife. Luke's showed us pics of his smart new toy, can I say? a shotgun....I said it wouldn't be knitting needles! In the absence of the cake meisters I had to hold the fort and YEEAAS I got the corner piece. You can't beat cake for breakfast. We wiggled along the flowing A6, enjoyed it's short section of dual carriageway, and took off up into the hills to the Goyt Valley for a bit of drone action. Thank you to Nigel for bringing it along and taking the time to share the footage with us, we are honoured. Bonnets Off at the Goyt Valley Next we did a route that I call 'the square root of Buxton' it's a twisty, scenic, cracking road that conveniently lands us at the Peak View Tea Rooms. As it overlooks the Cat and Fiddle road we got a running car show as we ate lunch. It even has steering wheel parking spaces😄 Soon we all took off in our different directions for home, my 4 car convoy eventually down to just Andrew and us until about a mile from home we got a sniff of ice cream and the inevitable happened, we turned left into the farm shop. Well it was a hot day and too nice to go home just yet. Adams Happy Hens, Holymoorside Cars down to the last 2 I have to agree with Dave, days like this are just plain good for the soul, the company particularly has been fantastic. Thank you everyone from one happy hen XXXX

..which is more than can be said about @GarethHD 😆

Where's my number plate......? This sunshine can't last forever.... anyone know the waiting time for DVLA to get the registration process completed?

Thanks Julie for another cracking day here’s some pics and a little go pro action……. Oh and Paul’s epic rolling backward start 😂 Dave & Marilla

Pre IVA checks- awaiting test date

Edit

Got Dad to get his Westy out today and we had a ride to a nice little classic meet. Loads of nice cars, a couple of kits too

Apparently Martin (The one who attended Stoneleigh) has never driven a Westfield as well !.. @GarethHD dobbed him in told me when he stumbled out of his van Sunday morning looking like Bamby trying to walk...there could be Witch craft going on here 😇

Martin was pruned from the club because he is an insidious, lecherous excuse, and shouldn't be a part of this great club. Also.......... What, just heard he is being re-instated? Oh THAT Martin, really nice guy, welcome back, apologies for the prune, yes that was me. Unintentional of course, but so easy. Luckily, we all have a sense of humour. Hopefully too.

I have to leave here at 7.15am for a 10 start! A 9am start will mean getting up even earlier and leaving at 6.15am. Guess the neighbours who already wimper will have more to complain about 😀😀

That’s because it’s “math” if you only do it once.

Who’s been a busy boy, then?

I think it’s a fairly safe bet.

Hello! This is my first post, long time lurker! I bought my first Westfield on Monday. An SEIW super sport from MatV on this forum. I've really fallen for the car, I'm using it to commute to work this week! 80miles a day. Looking forward to posting more on the forum. It's a great car can't wait to put my stamp on it. I'm in Maidstone Kent, I looked for an area meet but only saw the joint Essex/North Kent one? Alex

I've decided to sell my 1991 Westfield SE because I now feel it needs to go to a younger owner!

I'm up for the early start. I probably would have to set off about.... 8.45am

Unfortunately Mrs Bagpus has hidden the steering wheel!

Scandalous. At my age it’s easy to misjudge a step down...... honest, guv!

One day I will be there when you are doing the drone photography. I was thinking, if it had the follow me capability we could get some great driving action footage on the driveway up to Quackers car park if they let us go there after hours. Luke.

Some more great drone pics! Well done @NigelO and @Julie Hall - Joint Peak District AO

After the shenanigans camping at Stoneleigh I'me not surprised Martin has gone missing! 😆 @GarethHD @Stu Faulkner @Richard Wrexham @Glynn Andrews

Yup ! It looks Norfolk & Good

Thanks Julie. I'm OK and in hindsight could probably have made it.......

I corrected that for you Simon.

And a couple of pics from the Go Pro.

Here's a 2 minute video near the dam

Excellent day out again - marred only by that bl**** caravan that was down to as little as 15mph on the Cat & Fiddle.... 🤬 Anyway - the now customary drone shots, in order of the convoy

Big thanks to Julie and the rest of the crew, another superb day in the Peaks. Fantastic weather, great roads, great stops, beautifully scenery, great company! And just plain good for the soul!

From a Stoke-on-Trent news website:

Just been for a great run with Julie Hall and the Peak District gang 😎 Home now ready for the eff one 🏎

Well NOW they’ve got a lack of funds.

How not to protest:

Always best to plan ahead.

Tell that to the fish.

Ok I’ll join in, from the Manchester evening news report on the fire at central pier Blackpool in July 2020.

That’ll teach him.

I prefer mine medium rare.

Now that’s a great paint job.

Hard to imagine how the detective did it:

Might be one of all-time favourites:

Scientific research shows that…
