Peak District Area Run From Donnington Park

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Meet at Donnington Park Cafe DE74 2RP on 25th April leaving at 1.30pm for a route across to Tutbury, up to Rocester and then Alton, finishing at everyone's fave cafe in Ca**ington.

 

Don't ask me the exact route I am following Trevturtle, but I am told it is on the more interesting roads and it is a lovely area. It will all be new to me and I am really looking forward to it.

 

Everyone welcome.

Back in my neck of the woods.

All being well I'll be there.

[Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO]

Definitely good for us so we will be there too!

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Brill response, thanks folks, I wasn't sure if there would be much interest in this area. That's 4 cars, anyone else coming?

[Simon Waterfall Syman84]

I will try to get there with Michelle

got the old girl out last week new wheels on. Just the minor problem of a mouse/rather being in garage and chewing through water hose

I might come along for this. I live just along from Donnington Park and work at Alton Towers so it's perfect for me really. I'll see if my mate is off work that day too and fancies bringing his westy along.

Its a good experience seeing a line if Westfields ahead of you.

Just out of interest, how often do we stop for fuel? I only have a 20 litre tank and a thirsty Xflow so i only have a range of about 80 miles.

Hi Neil Wilkes

 

Welcome to the club, you are going to love it here I promise you. Being with all the other cars looks, smells and sounds amazing, there is nothing else like it. We are a very friendly lot too, both with each other and with pedestrians that wave as we go by.

 

If Ashbourne is not too far away from you we have meets there which you are welcome to come on.

All my outings have regular refuelling stops for both cars and drivers so don't worry we will have it covered.

 

Cheers, Julie

Is the cafe the one near the exhibition hall?

[OrmusKnight]

Sounds good,  Emma and I will be there too. Not that sure on the Cafe but give you a call on the day if we cant find it, i assume its obvious when you get to Donnington Park, its been a couple of years since we where there.
