Peak District Tier 2 Run Out 18th Oct

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Chesterfield is in Tier 2 and we can meet in groups of 6 outdoors, so we had a crack at it today. It was largely successful, I for one felt safe and therefore we shall try and operate like this until things change again. If you are in tier 1 or 2 and you wish to join us, please register your interest and I will do my best to accomodate you. Use PM, phone, text or on here, whichever way suits you best. Here is our day today, I hope you enjoy the photo's and it gives you a moment of escapism x.

 

Honda Boy, Rob, arriving you knew a Honda engined Westfield would be involved didn't you?

 

 

At 8.40am this morning we were struggling to park at Hassop, don't folks want a lie in bed anymore?

 

 

Shortly after a local guy in a beautiful Bentley arrived, it is a 4.5 litre straight 4, after today it is coming off the road for the front suspension to be sorted. And now he has seen Rita he said he was going to polish it too, a compliment indeed.

 

 

The Lotus club soon arrived, they were in limited numbers too

 

 

And the car park just kept getting better

 

 

We went on our route, when we touched the Sheffield end of the Peak District it got busy, so we swerved it and went on the quieter roads.

 

 

 

 

Lights on boys, it was dark under the trees

 

 

We had a pit stop at The Barrel

 

 

Inside the real fire had just been lit, it looked very warm and inviting, but we have to be outdoors only, so we admired the view instead.

 

 

Back on the road we wiggled a route to finish at The Bull I Thorn and the inevitable happened. Martin danced like an Egyptian, er no, we ate cake.

 

 

Bull I Thorn

 

 

 

Soon, Bill wished us a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, probably a happy Easter too and made his way home. Greater Manchester will surely be in Tier 3 very soon and that will mean no mixing with other households for Bill, so after getting the dust out of my eye I waved a goodbye to him.

 

 

Good job Rob was on hand to quickly change the subject and get on with the day. It has been a great day with the lovely cars, a Crossflow, a V8, a Duratec, a Honda and our Zetec making an excellent and interesting collection of Westfields.

 

Hope to see you all soon.

Hopefully Chesterfield remains in tier 2 or better otherwise we’re stuffed. 😀

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

Thanks for a great day out as always! 

 

Bill, I hope the lockdown ends soon and you can get back out to play!

 

We all know it's going to be difficult for the AO's to keep everyone happy with the restrictions. Don't worry about having to rotate the attendance going forward, we are all grown ups (well sort of!) and we all understand especially with some new members waiting for their chance... After all, everybody needs their fair share of Westfields, Peaks and Cake 😂

 

Stay safe! 👍

Thanks for organising another great tour around the coffee-and-cake (hmmm... is that what the CC stands for in WSCC 🤔) hotspots of the Peaks @Julie Hall - Peak District AO

 

Seems inevitable that Greater Manchester will move to Tier 3. SORNed the Westy and will crack on with the winter upgrades.

Looks great and I wish I could join you ... however I suspect most of Yorkshire will also be in Tier 3 shortly 😞

As long as I stay in a tier 3 area and maintain a safe distance, 2mtrs is good, 3 mtrs is better that's my current motto
