In the Peaks earlier today, fab turnout!

Boyndie sprint today and a couple of xtr’s

Thanks for another great run in the peaks. There was a really good turnout. I think the tractor drivers enjoyed the Westfield convoy behind them too.

Run out today with FB group SW kit cars, Extreme, kit body sew and my zk seiw on the right

13 cars, 13 unlucky for some but not us, we had an amazing day and on it goes with @AndrewBClarke @Andy Westwoodand their crazy daft photo's🤣. It's a good job @Si.Dalziel took a decent photo at McD's because mine are a bit rubbish, but here we go. McD's car park Parked with some of the Honda Boys Glynn's and Andrew's Short's were worn on this not so warm day Others turned up later Not the fastest of runs, we had the challenge of overtaking the cyclist's before finding the non-overtakables (is that a word?), a tractor run. We followed them to the junction, saw which way they went and we went the opposite way! I wanted to take the road that passes under The Roaches, but no way was I following them. As it happens I could make it that we went that way for the next leg of our journey, so all was not lost. I had a table for 18 booked at The Rudyard Hotel, where the carvery is excellent. Dave was quick to tell me that you only come here to wear your 'party frock' on your BIG birthday, not just an ordinary birthday, so we will let him off. Here is a photo of the last time we came here on @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO BIG birthday, just in case anyone has forgotten. Today folk were dressed more normally The dinner is still as good still as big anyway, Back in the cars, BEANO looking great as usual Having not eaten enough 😮 we had to go cake hunting next. Our Cake Meister suggested we go to Wetton which has a reputation for serving large slices of homemade cakes, good choice there Andy. Also it meant we could divert up to the Roaches road. We shoehorned into the car park Hello Ali x Andy hunted down the last slice of Bakewell cake, leaving the marzipan covered fruit cake for Andrew, no fighting boys. Watch it, the 2 Andy's are at it!! My small offering of coconut and raspberry jam cake We got snapped on our way through Matlock Bath again, I will put those photo's on the next post. Thanks everyone for making today a fabulous day out, I hope you enjoyed the roads and the driving as much as the food and the company XXX

Well what a great day we've had around the Peaks and Staffordshire Moorlands. Great company, fantastic roads and the great food. Thanks Julie/Glen for yet another fantastic day.

222 miles of fun. Absolutely fabulous. Thanks everyone.

Our journey through Matlock Bath

How does our esteemed leader stay so slim?? First course - Followed by -

Parked up ready for the Peaks meet this morning.

At raptor Sportscars today, left at 07.30 over the lecht through the clouds to Corgarf and found the road closed , so back over the lecht, brig o broon to Grantown all before 8.30 lol and just home at 21.30, “a grand day out”

Thanks Julie, Great run out again! Love the photo against the stone wall🤩 only photos I got were Westfield convoy behind and tractor convoy in front!

Sorry I missed this. Looks like a great drive out. On the plus side I have now got a date for redesigning our driveway so I can put my car in my own garage and finally move it out of Gran's. As the guy doing the work wanted to check what the issue was I had the car parked up outside and the girls decided it was a fun place to spend the morning. Bryony then decided she wanted to go for a drive out, so once Gemma got home we went for a pootle round the moors and back to base via Mum and Dad's house. All in all a good day, if a bit chilly and lacking in cake. Luke.

On my trek home from Wokingham to Crewkerne today, parked up to stretch my legs for a few mins.

Amazing, looks fabulous 👍👍

Snug. Mission accomplished 👍

Well, I’m not sure my right nostril will ever be the same again, but I made it! Must get the wind deflectors fitted as it’s quite blowy at 70 ish! 🥶😜. A fairly uneventful trip in the end, no rain, some heavy traffic in the usual places eg Stonehenge and also a bit further along. Had some good fun when it was clear and on the twisty bit down to Crewkerne. I even got a wave from a chap in a nice blue Caterham! 👍 There’s an entry into the sticker competition somewhere here too. Need a bit of a rest then will tuck him away in the garage. Hopefully the carpod will arrive soon too so I can get him properly stored.

And so it begins!

A great day out to Raptor Sports Cars today for cars and coffee with Andrew Entwistle, Kirsten and the team . A good and varied turn out of 7’s saw us get an insight into the story behind Raptor, a look at all their models and workshop. To feel Andrews passion in what is a niche market and see a specialist car being built in Scotland really was a treat. Thanks all for coming along and Andrew has kindly offered to do it again for us, so stay tuned as it will probably be in the spring.

Hi all, I'll be doing the normal 9am pre-meet at the A38/A50 services (DE65 6DX) for those coming from the civilised South 😉 Feel free to join us if you're heading that way 👍

Now the cash is (almost) in the bank for the Westfield to go to pastures new, my membership expires at the end of the month so that'll be me taking my leave and maybe doing some work or something. Ten years in the club and I've made loads of great friends along the way and upset an equal number of people who don't have a sense of humour. Its the people that really make the club, so thanks to everyone for giving me the opportunity to take the p*** out of them. Keep smiling, embrace new blood and new ideas and don't take yourselves to seriously. Before I race my mx5 into the sunset....like, comment, subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/user/russellhalley Cheers Russ

Me too , heading south through there tomorrow morning 😃

Lunch at Exford beside the river.

Sorry, I am going to have to miss this. Had my flu and covid jabs yesterday and have been feeling grotty since. Was hoping that I would feel better this morning but not to be. See you all soon.
