We dont just like the drive but we meet chat and drink coffee and pee a lot 

We dont get chance to meet people from up here as every one walks away

Maybe one day you will let us stop out all day with you

I have just got home to deal with  4 woman and a dog in house

First greeting was,its my fault

Sorry for the large number of photo's but it was that kind of day.

 

@Andy Westwood ,a very brave man I knew but I was not prepared for how cool he is. My prank was to drop a piece of wire with spade connectors attached into his footwell and proceed to ask him what might be wrong with his car. He very cooly replied that it would just be a test piece of wire that he had used recently when he installed a USB socket onto his dash. You were supposed to panic and wonder what it had fell off. So that's 2 to you Mr Westwood and I still need my revenge 😛 

 

We met at Quackers and proceeded to eat cake and sausage rolls for breakfast

 

 

 

On the big roads today, past Monsal Head

 

and onto the fast bit where the Honda Hooligan from Barnsley had to show the Zetec how it is done. Really he needed a pee, he had mentioned that he was running short of dignity pants today.

 

 

Through the pretty village of Castleton

 

 

and up the Winnats Pass

 

 

 

The post Winnats hairpin bend with it's ascending exit was ruined by a set of temporary traffic lights but gave us a rare chance to take in the views of the Great Ridge of Mam Tor

 

 

Next was the scenic descent of Mam Nick

 

see the paraglider on the horizon getting a birds eye view

 

The Barnsley lot can't drive for more than a hour at a time so we had to stop at Bradwell to let them have a little rest. 

Parked at The Travellers Rest

 

 

For a quick drink and to say our goodbye's to the Barnsley Mafia

 

 

Very kindly Glynn took a photo of us too so I could be in it

 

 

Next stop was Peak Rail and it's steam engine. It has a quaint cafe that is nice and quiet between trains so we had lunch there.

 

 

Parked at Peak Rail

 

 

 

Afterwards Glynn led the convoy South through Matlock Bath for home

 

 

Andy and Sue headed towards Ca**ington and home

 

 

Just leaving Andrew and us

 

and it seems we can't quite get home without calling at Adam's Happy Hen's. A very guilty looking Andrew with 2 ice creams, wait until I see Clare

 

 

Thank you to our Barnsley neighbours for coming over the border

John and Jacky

 

Des and Debs

 

Thank you to our Southern neighbours for coming today (and to Andy and Sue not pictured)

Ian and Ali

 

Alan and Callan

 

Glynn

 

Thank you to all of you for making today a good laugh and I hope you enjoyed the route as much as we did.

A few more random photo's

Looks like another fab day!

[Barnsley John]

Forgot to say as well and am not kidding

Julies driving is second to none now as several yrs ago it would have say      lady like

 

around  the peaks and about there most other people we no would  have been left  yes left

Her driving was

brisk 

Safe

And curtious 

waiting for other people that got left at junctions etc

She as matured as a driver and i think she would put most people to shame on a race track

like invalid carriages  push bikes and robin relient cars

And stevy wonder with a passenger telling him to turn

So thanks for today  

I did not have to refuel as my dash 2  that bagpuss  recalibrated said 50 mpg and rangec300 mile

So basically tickling the old right foot around the peaks 

Poor old glen sits there smilling and  joking and crapping his self deep down

We went to call at the station called gringle ford but glen said you have no chance of parking

But we called 

It was full and started raining  so i wanted a pee again but raced home through sheffield and Hillsborough  back to barnsley

By then my bladder wanted julies she pee er  as she demonstrated in nackers car park how it worked

Now jacky  wants one

Wats going on here 

The back of a bush is stilled the barnsley way and free but lady julie from chesterfield as the posh one

The plastic red insertion type

Still splashes the seat abd glens right arm 

I said pull up before ya use it juli????

But there ya go woman for ya

Fast anf furious

And  raining  on glen

 

See ya soon or probabby not after today

Love ya all😂

 

 

 

[Andy Westwood]

Thanks for another great run around the Peaks. Sue and myself had a great day and some new roads that I've not been on. So the wire was planted 😂 😂 I will need to keep my wits about me for the next meet.

Nice to meet everyone hope you beat the rain home.

[Glynn Walters]

As usual, thanks again Julie for another impeccably planned and executed peaky run out 👍👍👍 keep em coming!

[ianali]

Caught some rain on way back, was on the move though, so no need for the hood. Was quite a fun drive home.

[David lear]

Looks like you all had a great day 👍
