It's still p$%&ing it down here.... I'm waiting in the starting blocks for the old school Le Man's start but it's not looking hopeful at the moment....

How do you know when you’ve lost the plot? Answer :- when you walk out of the house on a cold wet Sunday morning ,the garden lights come on because it still thinks it’s dark and you tie yourselves into a open top sports car for the hour and a half trip to see “friends” . I thank my fellow nutcases for another great day out, we’re now home warm and dry and the car is now free of cow **** , see you next time luv Andy & Becky

I am glad Becky got that shot, it is the road from Hathersage to Grindleford and the colours of the trees are lovely at this time of year. In the next couple of weeks they all turn yellow and it's even more beautiful, note to self - go back there in November.

 

Lovely photo's Bex, thank you, and to Andy for posting them. I love to see other people's photos of the day.

Right all you Andy's @AndrewBClarke @aeg@Andy Westwood you can chuff right off because I am the Champion of Cake, winner of the Largest Slice of the Day award for today. I can report that it was absolutely very tasty and a much better choice for breakfast than a full English!!

But I must thank ABC for the black pudding he gave me as a solid aperitif, that was yummy too.

Everyone else had more traditional breakfast fare

We all met at The Bull i Thorn and we had all travelled through heavy drizzle so I take my hat off to you all for coming out. Out of camera shot was Allan and Callan who joined us with no roof on, well done boys. I am pleased to report that when we came out of the Bull it had stopped raining and it was dry for the rest of the day.

 

Glynn, Dan and us at the Bull

Billy and Bill Senior in the fastest car of the day. Everyone else, on triple 8's or otherwise, had wiggley back ends and had to slow it a bit.

Speed is a bit of a sore subject at the mo because someone picked up a speeding ticket on the way to the Lake District for her holidays last week. Was I in the the racy Westfield? No. Was I in the sporty MX5? No. I was in the ruddy van going along the A66. The speed limit changes 60mph to 50mph and back again, I saw the speed camera van, looked down and saw I was doing 58mph and thought great, carry on girl, it's national speed limit. Then just after I saw the 50 sign, drat, what a numpty, what an idiot. So off to the speed awareness course it is for me.

 

Our route for today headed East on the 13 bends to a quiet Bakewell, up the Curbar Gap, through Chatsworth and to Peak Rail at Rowsley, where there was a steam train waiting for us. Young Callan was highly delighted and it was a joy to see his little face.

It was not long before the nose bags were on and and we all tucked into lunch as everyone else had disappeared onto the train.

It all worked out in the end and we were rewarded with quiet roads as everyone else had stayed home. It's been wonderful company and thank you all for coming, see you next weekend at the museum.

Ooh I know that bit of road, I got done there just like you, must've been 25 years ago so it was 3 points in those days. 🙁

It was my last speeding offence though 😀

 

Glad you all all had a good day though 👍

I got done there just like you

 

I feel better now I have read that thanks Paul, I was really annoyed because I had just come out of the 50 zone and gone back into the 60 zone, I didn't realise that I had gone back into another 50 zone, I could have slowed down, grrr. Julie, pay more attention and stop looking at the lovely views.

Waiting for a speeding notice through the post from our holiday in Cornwall. One of those cameras that tell you speed and reg plate details..Anyway, looks like we missed a great day out. See you next week.

Your not alone. My lad was driving me to pick up a car last year and did exactly the same thing on the a66, if its the same spot it's a sneaky speed limit change. He did the exact same thing breezed past at 58 and ended up with a speed awareness course. Least they are online now, well I assume they still are?
