Peak District Run Out, Bank Holiday Sunday 30 August

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Fingers crossed that Luke gets his car fixed soon, Nigel too and that Trevor gets sorted also. That left Andrew, Andy, Billy, Martin and Rob with Lewis meeting us at Hassop where the queue for cycle hire came right around the corner by 9am, keen eh. Hassop Station is positioned right on the disused railway line which is perfect for cyclists. We were on 4 wheels today on this very clear, cold day, with the sun and shadows bouncing off the hills making the scenery rather beautiful.

 

Hassop Station, Andy's car centre front has had a new windscreen fitted after receiving what looked like a bullet hole in his last one.

 

 

After breakfast butties and lashings of tea it was time to move it. With all the tourists predictably in Bakewell and Matlock Bath it was easy to avoid them, we simply went in the opposite direction. It was a good run, I took off at one point, makes for rather light steering that does. We checked the car over as we cleaned it later and the welded wing stay has broken again with only paint and the solid pipe inside holding it together. You use 'em you break 'em and you cover 'em in cow cr_p, rinse and repeat hopefully for many years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There had been more cows on the road than traffic

 

 

We finished up at The Bull I Thorn again, sound in the knowledge that we could comfortably social distance there, even on a Bank holiday

 

 

 

 

Or is it sound in the knowledge that we could eat lots of cake, we wrote off the orange and almond cake today, only Andy couldn't wait until the camera came out, tut, naughty.

 

Chris and Mo joined us as we spread across 4 picnic tables

 

 

A few of @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO's friends met here before their own much larger meet with BPJ a few miles down the road. They were friendly and invited us to join them, which we thanked them for but declined.

 

We were far to busy admiring Chris's car with it's shiny new headlights and chrome roll bar, highly polished it soaked up the sun beautifully.

 

 

Thank you Lewis for taking some lovely photo's on the move. It really has been another amazing day, thank you folks.

Hmm, why do you think I was 'hiding' at the Gold Cup? 😉

 

I'm glad you've all had a good run and hope to see you all soon.
