This Covid 19 secure venue serves breakfast from 8am and even has a campsite attached if you want to make a weekend of it.

 

It is on the A515 Buxton to Ashbourne road, the next turning North of Tagg Lane. There are 3 entrances into the same car park, so if you overshoot don't worry!

 

Really look forward to seeing you there, who is coming?

Sorry it's a no from me. Scaffolding arriving tomorrow and need to make the most of the good weather to get the house painted before I have to go back to work

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Ah, sorry, can’t do Saturday, family (Zoom) wedding to attend, have fun!

[BillyPee]

I'm in.

Sorry @Julie Hall - Peak District AO I can't make this weekend.

 

Thought you'd like to know that I got very bored during lockdown and part exchanged the 2019 Porsche Cayman for a 2019 Porsche 911 4S (992 - new style). The main dealer was trying to raise cash I think as I got a very good deal on a car that less than a year ago cost £118,000!!

 

0-60 in 3.4s so I might now be able to keep up with @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO 🤞

 

Hope all is well with you guys and hope to see you soon.

[Si.Dalziel]

I would love to come for my first trip round the peaks but this Saturday is no good for me. 
 

Hope to see you all out there soon though.

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

I will keep an eye on them @Trevturtle, they will definitely 'Go Large' they aren't even aware that a breakfast comes in a 'Small' size.

 

@Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary I am trying to visualise that one, a Zoom Wedding, do you wear a suit, shirt and tie etc?

 

@neptune @Andy_R @Si.Dalziel hope to see you all soon

 

@AndrewBClarke and @BillyPee set those alarm clocks!

[AndrewBClarke]

As sadly, all that's needed to do that currently, is a car with a working alternator, it's not as much of a challenge as it should be!

 

(Too soon?  )

My alternator works fine in Andy's car as does the one in my Westie, even with a broken top or bottom mount it still charges!

4WD makes a huge difference compared with a 'normal' 911. Still gets a little happy on the corners but in a good way ... not a hospital visit kind of way!

 

Plus it's a 2+2 so I was able to tell the better half it's actually a family car 🤪
