Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Peaky Blunders! As this may possibly the last run out for an evening meet of the season, we're doing something different this time, with a run through the Peak District, starting at the Manifold Inn, at Hulme End, in the Manifold valley, running through some fantastic parts of the Peak District, past Rudyard Lake, then back across to the Swettenham Arms! The run should take around an hour and a half, or just under, according to the sat nav(!) So we need to leave the Manifold Inn reasonably promptly, 7.45pm at the latest. This will get us to the Swettenham Arms a little after nine pm. Anyone that can't make the full run, is very welcome to join us at Swettenham for a drink and a natter. So, just to be clear, this month, we will not be at the Golden Pheasant! 1 Quote

Carl, we get out quite often that way, especially with @Julie Hall - AO Representative, Peak District AO and the Peak District crew. I know you plan on pulling the engine over winter, but some of us do do carry on through the winter, with just the odd short break off the road where the odd winter upgrade/maintenance demands it, so do keep an eye out on the events section, and you should be able to fit more runs in around your continuing restoration. 2 Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 7, 2018 Author Posted September 7, 2018 A cracking run last night, thank you to all those that joined us, I must admit I was nervous about how many we'd get at the Manifold Inn, (cracking food by the way, if (when) we do similarr again, and like me, you don't really have time to get to the meet and have tea first). I think Ian and I had both been of a similar mind; we were doing it, even if it was just us and we met everyone else at the Swetty Arms!! As it was, with Ian, Jon and I in the cars, pluse Matt and Steve on the bikes it was great. (even if apparently the roads were just to "roady" for the poor bikes, in the dark. 1 Quote
