Weather looking good so we will see you tomorrow.  P.S hope have a desert planned. This one I've just devoured 

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

@Paul Hurdsfield we are going to be NEAR  Fairholmes car park, S33 0AQ. Coming from the Snake Pass turn left into the Derwent valley before the reservoir, go all the way down the side of the res (it is on your right), at the small roundabout stay left/straight on - don't turn right into Fairholmes Car Park - up the hill on your right you will come to the turrets at the dam wall in my photo, wait there for us.

@Andy Westwood I think we might just fit a dessert in along the way

@Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary I will bring the rear wing, now the cobwebs have been removed

I know where you mean Julie, we are not 100% yet so if we are not there don't wait for us.

ive just got to make a new battery retaining strap and put the nosecone back on (long story)  then there's the grandkids to deal with, but hopefully we will be there.

[Ali and Gail]

Going to have to give it a miss today

Couldn’t resist posting this pick!

Some stunning Westfield's out today, and they all bought their lovely owners with them, I am gobsmacked at a 13 car turn out, plus Andrew and Clare in the Range Rover and his brother in his new Crossfire.

We met at Sainsburys and after long journeys for most I think it's fair to say everybody was freezing. Scott and Charlie, Andy, Dave, Jon and son, Nigel and Lee, Andy and Sue, Bill, Luke and friend, Mark and Sara. 

We took the back roads to Ladybower, stopping for a wee on the way

Never a journey goes by without throwing a challenge up. We got to Ladybower, Paul Hurdsfield was waiting for us, and the road was shut. So that was the photo shoot kippered then, we parked on the double yellows for a photo and a bit of a tyre kick while we caught up with Paul's news. We were booked in for lunch at 1pm and we were now early - never been known in a Westfield that takes 15 minutes just to get in and out of with all these clothes on.

These are the photo's anyway, please excuse the bus stop. Note the reservoir is still empty, the brown bit should be water.

11 cars falls back down to 10 cars as Paul leaves, until we see Ian coming towards us, and John is waiting for us at The Travellers Rest.

Ian and Charlotte the mini cake muncher

Michael and Marie looking very smart join us in the new Crossfire. Last time we saw Michael he took us all in his aeroplane that he had built from a kit, now that is impressive don't ya think?

At The Travellers Rest

Bagpuss came too

Nosebags on everybody. Having booked a table for 24 we were allocated our own area of the pub, and the radiators were red hot.

As we set off again the next challenge thrown up was the herd of cows coming towards us, rather a bit too close for comfort, it did make for a good photo opportunity though. 

Very slowly we drove along the cow patted section of road and arrived at Tagg Lane Ice Cream Farm. I knew we wouldn't get a seat inside, so we sat outside and ate ice cream, not for me that one, I had cake, it's warmer.

Not a very photogenic car park at Tagg Lane Dairy

Then we all scattered on the long journey home, thank you to everyone that made such great effort to brave the cold today, I hope you have enjoyed the empty b roads of the beautiful Peak District, please come again. I hope all is ok at home AndyR and ruddy Ali and Gail - sober up next time
