Thanks for another fantastic day around the Peaks. Great route and scenery. Though the tractor and trailer driving up the grass bank looked a bit precarious.

Wish I had been able to do the whole run now. Great drone shots. Good to catch up with you all briefly this morning though. See you next time.

I didn't expect a good turnout this weekend with Stoneleigh being on so it was a wonderful surprise to get so many, especially when there was a sudden late exodus of Honda Boys.

12 Westfields met at The Bull I Thorn, Buxton for breakfast

 

 

 

We headed off for a wiggle down the Crowdecote bends, up the sweeping bends of the Bentley Brook road, slotted in the Elton Esses to skirt round the presumably busy Bakewell and pop out at Quackers Cafe.

 

Quackers where Barsnley men dressed in red over exaggerate the size of things😛

 

Quackers

 

 

The inevitable happened

 

 

Watch out Debs, there is a cake thief about!

 

 

It is difficult to know where to go on a Bank Holiday Sunday and Quackers have never failed to serve us in a timely fashion and have seating available. There is always plenty of parking and we never feel like we have to rush off, plus it is in a lovely setting.

 

 

 

Billy was not the only one wearing shorts but with only a t-shirt on too, these Cheshire lot are hard nuts.

 

 

Andy Westwood got me hook, line and sinker with my extra 1 horsepower (I nearly had a skitty horse in the Westfield last Friday, Glen had told him the story and then Andy proceeded to wind me up) offering me your last Rolo from your cake will not make it up Andy😄 you are in danger!

 

Nigel was proud to show off his car that now looks brand new, he has been busy working on it over the 'winter' and he also bought his drone which has taken the most amazing photo's, THANK YOU for that Nigel, you are a star!

 

 

 

 

Last to leave were the Barnsley lot, it's expected really, at their age everything is done in slow motion😆. It still frightens me that I can understand every word they say and read John's lingo too, there is an advantage of being from Yorkshire. Good luck to everyone else.

 

 

It has certainly been a laugh today, the roads have been quiet and bendy and it's been lovely to see you all from all directions, thankyou for coming XXX

Hey, the first drone image, doesn't it show how great we all are at parking!

[Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO]

I'm gutted I've missed a great run out and some talented drone shots! Well done @NigelO

 

Your car was looking great at Stoneleigh yesterday. You've done a cracking job!
