Great day out and some great food and company Ran into some more tarmac sheeps on the way home at chatsworth! (And loads of traffic lights ) So the light was gone by the time I got back home and headlights were deployed.

We met at the Great British Car Journey car museum, most of us having de-iced at least one car to get our Westfield's off our driveway's this morning. We found the hot radiator in the cafe and the breakfasting began By now the sun had risen out of our eyes a bit and we set off on our great British car journey through the beautiful, sun soaked Peak District. I was revelling in how wonderful a place it is in the winter, with the very quiet roads, until we got to Castleton and what a contrast, I think the whole of nearby Sheffield had emptied onto Mam Tor. There were cars and people everywhere, not to worry, we soon came out of it and landed in Edale at The Rambler Inn. Thank you to Glen for removing his gloves and taking those photo's, in the cold, on the move. At The Rambler Inn We had lunch and decided we needed to top it off with cake from a new place that has opened in the Hope Valley, called Bike and Boot. The eatery there is called BARECA, so named because it is a BAR, a REstaurant and a CAfe all rolled into one. The car park at Bike and Boot The cake, well what's left of my Victoria sponge cake Today, Glynn was the Cake Meister and he blew you Andrew's @AndrewBClarke, @aeg, @Andy Westwood right out of the water with this dessert. It was enormous. Lovely photo there, Glynn. A lovely place to visit and one to add to our 'go to' list. Bareca The driving has been great (surprisingly), although it was cold early on, it was amenable during the day, the locations have been tremendous and the company was je ne sais quois, champion. Let's do this again very soon! Thanks guys XXX

Just to introduce myself; I'm back into the club after many years absence ! Hello all

Brilliant day out again thanks. 247miles of smiles. Some left home with salt on the ground. Some with full sun in their faces. Some avoiding the rain showers. I had long diversions (20 miles extra on the way and 37 mile on the way home) to avoid flooded A57 and A617 which seem to have cut Lincolnshire off from the mainland. Left home 7.30am in the dark and returned at 6pm again in the dark. My route to the West -

eh hmm.. neither atm.

Having sold my MK, i'm coming back to the Westfield fold so now on the hunt, so if anyone knows of any for sale that roughly tick these boxes let me know. 1. Full FIA cage 2. ideally windscreen 3. Car engine 4. LSD rear axle 5. Widebody 6. Lowered floors

A mate has a Mega S2000 for sale if you have the budget?

Wasn't expecting to see Warhammer on the forum! I've got a few resin models, they can be a pain with all the prep needed, but all the Forge World stuff is really cool! I bought 2 or 3 Leviathan Dreads a while ago, and before I got to building them Games Workshop came out with the plastic ones, wish I had waited now

A few more recent images, some of the Moon, Venus and a recent large Active Region on the Sun. This shows a feature called Schröter’s Valley and the bright crater is Aristarchus. This one below shows two features called the Lunar X and V, highlighted in the next image. This one is of Venus showing around half phase. Finally a very large and detailed Active Region on the Sun. It was big enough to show a a black dot when viewing the Sun with eclipse glasses. Through a decent solar scope it was amazing, about ten earth diameters across I think.

Looking fab again tonight, lovely clear skies here at the moment. Will have a gander at the Moon later if it stays clear.
