Peak District Run Out, Sun 21 Nov, Tagg Lane 10.30am

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Good to see your car got suitably christened in sludge @Si.Dalziel, welcome to the Peak District in winter, we will look forward to any video footage that you can share with us. Until then Glen was kind enough to remove his gloves whilst travelling and take some stills.

 

What is this? a broken down Honda? thankfully no, just an insubordinate Joint AO that needed parking instruction. @Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO we also have nutcases wearing shorts in these freezing temperatures.

 

 

With order restored we enjoyed the Gelato at Tagg Lane. I had Stracciatella and Kinder Bueno, 2 scoops to make up for missing out last week. 'Edley Elbows @HB46443 had Vanilla I think 😆, so he said anyway.

 

 

On our route we found a couple of hairpins, this one and one with wet leaves on, why go forwards when you can go sideways hey @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO

 

 

At times it was narrow and slow, coming to a stand still for the horses, I learnt that good tip from @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary, some years ago when your Honda was new and noisy we found horses on this road and you were good enough to stop.

 

 

Up over Abney and down Surprise View to Hathersage and The Bird Cafe for lunch.

 

 

The Bird Cafe

 

 

With Billy, Ian and Si already gone West we were on a misson to avoid the Christmas markets at both Chatsworth and Bakewell so the route home was across country through Bradwell and Tideswell to pick up the A515. Glynn and us off down the Via Gellia and Rob's Southern Express headed back towards Ashbourne.

 

Having missed last week it felt really extra good to be out and about today, the sunshine added to the views and all the cars were so lovely, noisy, smelly and super fast. My foot flat to the floor and Rob's Honda engined car just gets bigger and bigger in my rear view mirror, my efforts were futile, fun but futile.

 

Thanks for a great day out everyone. Next week we shall meet at Marks and Spencer Foodhall cafe, DE6 1DG in Ashbourne at 10am, hopefully on the Sunday, depending on what the weather Gods allow. 

 

Some photo's of the views for you

[HB46443]

Wonderful day Julie.  Thank you.  Sharing the rally cross experience with family all afternoon. A memory for ever. As for Vanilla, I’m not sure I am😉

 

All the best HB

Give it a lick, it's not mud! It stunk plenty washing it off too.

The things you see in the Peaks-

 

 

I didn't know they had nails 😉 !

[Glynn Walters]

Really enjoyed todays run,  some awesome Peak District scenery and roads on the way there and back!
Another big mug of warm tea needed when I got back though🥶 and a bucket of warm soapy water for the Westfield.
Thank again Julie and Glen👌

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

A good day out, indeed. Sunshine, good company and mucky roads!

 

 

 

Yes, Glen I put it in the garage like this to drop the oil and filter, whilst warm! It was washed afterwards! Honest!

 

Lovely Autumn colours:

Hi @Stevo_3,

 

I am glad you liked what you saw, please do come and join us, we are out every weekend over the winter unless the weather stops us. Look at the 'Local Area Meets, Events & Kit Car Shows' for the details.

I had to speed it up to compress it enough to get off my phone. It’s also lost a lot of quality in the YouTube upload.

Cool, will try and make one. Usually riding out in peaks on Sundays, but will try and make one.

12:47 of video, yellow Sprinter!! That was me haha.

[Stevo_3]

@Si.Dalziel that is a great video, it shows just how quiet the Peak District can be when you get off the beaten track, there was no traffic, only stopped for horses at 8.10 mins. 

 

My Eagle eye's picked up the Magpie Mine on the left at 2 mins, the first hairpin at 4.40 mins and the second one at 7.40 mins. Can't miss the big yellow sprinter, that was at Surprise View, Hathersage😃.

 

Brill, let's get you mid pack, up Winnat's and down Mam Nick next time, that is one great machine you have there, thank you 😍
