Damn, damn, damn.

Just had a text from a customer with an emergency, going to have to go over first thing. Not sure if I'll be able to make the eleven am start. 

If I take your mobile number, I might call/text and try and meet up with you en-route? (I'm guessing it might be nearer midday, I'll have to get over to Wilmslow and back first)

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Wahoo, on site at clients testing internet connection; all back up and running, hopefully should get away soon, might even make the Wheatsheaf!

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Excellent response, the postcode for the Wheatsheaf is DE45 1SR

I think the Devils Bridge is about 2 hours further north for us, Chris, but don't forget your trunks and have a jump in the river!!!

Just got home now, changing shoes and will head on out!

And back home again. Awesome day out courtesy of Julie and Glen, again. Great to catch up with everyone, and put a name to a face!

lovely Sunday lunch in the carvery section of yet another great pub find. Plus cake and ice cream in the afternoon

From the left, meeting at The Wheatsheaf, we have Dave, IanK, us, AndyR, Alan, Trevor, Rob and Owen, and Billy.

8 Westfields, fantastic, meaning there were a lot of panorama shots today. That is good news for me and bad news for the others, why?, because when Trevor is with us, he has everybody running from one side to the other, to try and get people into both sides of the photo, which is most hilarious.

After coffee we set off on some big roads and then took a cheeky right turn and went up onto the tops, to smaller roads, no traffic and just the most fantastic views, it was stunning in the sunshine. We wiggled a circle back down to The Millstone Country pub, where I had booked a table for 10 people. The carvery and the normal menu were being served, all of it delicious and only empty plates went back.

The pub is in a lovely place and this picture only catches part of the view.

In the car park the 'Westfield Running Club' were diving in on my panorama shots again. You can see them on the left here but they are just not quick enough to get round to the other side before the camera stops, I hope that they can all drive a bit quicker than they can run!!!

It took 3 attempts to get that shot, little did they know that if I had got the perfect shot first time I would not have told them, and I would keep making them run 

Glen and Dave look like they have been practicing their choreography, look at them, perfectly synchronized, I am impressed.

And a shot below, taken after lunch, when everyone is feeling too full to run.

Too full to run, but not too full to eat cake. Off we went again, on a scenic route, that cut out busy Bakewell, to land us at our favourite cafe, The Tea Junction in Hulme End. All the cakes are baked by the owner, Rebecca, who always comes out to see our cars, and today she blagged a ride for one of the waitresses. I took her up into the National Speed Limit zone, which she enjoyed very much.

Cake, we have to have a cake photo, with the obligatory steering wheel in the shot.

That's all folks, Westfield's scattered in every direction from there. That's just leaves me left to apologise for Glen finding his glove and spoiling all the fun and banter on the forum, the challenge is on for who can steal his glove and let it recommence, you lot are naughtier than me sometimes.

Thanks for coming everyone, it's been a brilliant day out with such fun people.

[rjc4176]

Excellent day out again great to do a few miles with other westfieds and a top group of people thanks

[Kingster]
