Pott Shrigley, Peak District, Sun 21st May, 11am

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

I just can't make the Glossop Car Show happen on Saturday because the weather is being very unco-operative. However, on Sunday, it has forecast top weather, so I suggest we go to The Tin Hut Coffee Tavern in Pott Shrigley, Macclesfield.

Meet at The Wheatsheaf, Baslow, DE45 1SR, 11am. It will take just short of a hour, over the tops of Buxton, to get to the very quirky lunch stop. It is a cute place in the ar ...middle of nowhere, you will love it.

Anybody joining us?

We tried to go to Glossop car show today, albeit in a MX5 with the roof up, the rain was torrential, so we had our lunch at The Snake Inn and came home. I got to try my new tyres out in the wet though, so all was not lost. Nankang NS2R's they're good.

I have just set the route and the views are going to be amazing, the roads twisty, hilly, the best the Peak District can offer. The conversation might be a bit suspect as the day goes on - you have been warned!!

See you, Billy, in the morning. Hope everyone else has a good day, thanks for your posts, and I am not jealous of the Llanberis Pass, not jealous, not at all, ooh Llanberis Pass.

Good morning Miss Julie. Hope to be st the wheatsheaf for your meet at 11. 

Need to blow some cobwebs out!

Alas, I'm unable to come out to play today, It's my youngest daughters birthday party. Have a great day folks. The weathers looking better. 

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Lets hope @IanK had some birthday cake, we were bereft of the stuff today. At The Wheatsheaf we met Billy, Chris and Alan

After coffee, and a run down of everyone's ailments, we set off up through Buxton and over the tops. We turned right onto the lesser known roads, to take another right onto the even lesser known roads. If Alan has never been on the road before then you know it must really be in the bottom hole of nowhere 

The Tin Hut Coffee Tavern, Pott Shrigley

Soon we arrived at The Tin Hut Coffee Tavern, it is a craft shop/cafe in a very peaceful, tranquil place, shame all these noisy sports cars have to come and ruin it . After lunch, as we were close to where Billy lived, he carried on in the same direction, we took a route up past the Cat and Fiddle. Stopping for a 'Westfield Incontinence Society' stop, before landing at everyone's favourite Castle for cake. Willersley Castle had run out of cake, how very awful, someone must have been listening to our diabetes conversation and obviously decided that we should not eat so much sugar. Toasted Teacakes it was then, with the biggest dollop of strawberry jam that I have ever seen. The conversation? what is said at a meet stays on a meet, ok with you guys?

Thanks for coming today everyone, at such short notice, I hope you have enjoyed the views and the roads as much as we have.

Miss Julie.....

Gentleman of a certain age, and ladies (and I use the term loosely) of a certain age do require looooooo stops. 

Thank you for, once again, finding the most out of the way 'licence' cafe in the middle of nowhere that served delicious food and coffee. 

The return road was interesting with animals asking for mint sauce at the side of the road.

Stunning roads and good company together with healthy political debate!!!!

And the best presentation of tea cakes money could buy...
