Peak District to Tittersworth Water, Leek

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Meet at The Wheatsheaf, Baslow, DE45 1SR at 10.30am for a run through the Peak District and lunch overlooking Tittersworth Water.

 

Weather is forecast very good, Martyn and Sue are coming, anyone else?

Very sorry that Ben and Nat cannot make tomorrow, look out for us though we are coming right through the centre of your village at about 12.00, give us a wave  . That means the route has been set and it is nearly as yummy as the cakes in the Tittersworth cafe.

 

Today has not been wasted as we discovered the new road with the esses on for tomorrow. We saw a Volvo Amazon in Bakewell, we were only discussing Guy Martin's one last week. Plus we walked through the tunnel at Hulme End and there have been new notices erected warning that any vehicle misbehaving will be seized immediately under Section 59 . 

 

Not a drop of rain until 6.30pm when we got hail, sleet and snow followed by rain. Huff.

We spotted you drive through while in the garden doing a spot of weeding.Made us very jealous

 

Hope you've had a lovely day out up our end.Hope there wasn't to much cow muck flying around 

 

Finger's crossed there should be a new sump on its way tomorrow so should be back on the road very soon.

Oohoo look at us, sat outside the Wheatsheaf, there was no wind and we were sat in direct sunshine, lovely and warm. Thinking it was just us 4 and Alan came and saved the day, yeah hay. I love Thundernuts, I just want to keep saying it, Thundernuts, it's a very appropriate name as it thunders behind me.

So, right from the off they started about the ruddy caravans didn't they. Glen joined in and even Alan, who I thought was on my side, even he had to join in with them. We always car spot as we sit outside and point out any spicy cars that pass, ruddy hell, Sue got me time after time, ooh look at that, I spin around and it's a pigging caravan. Glen pointed out every caravan that we passed, but justice was done when Martyn got stuck behind a motorhome he he he. I thought he won't be there for long so I didn't slow down, sure enough he soon got by and caught us up, good old Pinto Pants.

 

We wiggled right through the Peak District, up the Esses to Ben's Land, what a cracking bit of road that is Ben, no wonder you had to buy a Westfield, up and over the high ground until we got to Tittersworth Water. Ssshh, no cow poo in sight, don't tell the farmer's.

 

We parked on the waterfront and went into the cafe that also overlooks the lake.

 

 

 

After lunch we took the scenic route back through Ilam to finish at The Bentley Brook, for more car spotting, that's car, C.A.R. you know the 4 wheeled things that do a Grand Prix, you don't get caravans doing a grand prix do you?
