Golly, lots of photo's today but then again lots of people have been on their knees praying to the Westfield Gods that they get home with a full bottle of coolant😁, making for many excellent photo opportunities.

 

Glynn was first to arrive at Quackers and his car sounded wonderful now his throttle bodies have been fitted. He was soon joined by 11 more Westfield's, a RAW Striker, a VX220 and a Porsche, 15 cars in total, wow😍. Plus Paul and Margaret Hurdsfield who joined us for breakfast and collected a roll bar.

 

First car of many to have a wee wee today was Dave's

We were actually busy admiring Dave's new wheels, which have Uniroyal Rainsport 5 tyres on and having a fat, rounded shape just look amazing, perhaps the best set up I have ever seen on a Westfield. They really do look fantastic👍 have a look here

We all took a seat on the sun terrace and enjoyed our first refreshments of the day.

The long convoy set off down the 13 bends, up to Owler Bar for the cracking scenery on Surprise View before taking in the Winnat's Pass and Mam Nick. We pulled into the Rambler Inn, Edale in time for the next wee wee of the day which was from Lee who had a slight oil leak after over-tightening a nut.

Out came the tool box and the praying began

Mmm, the Sunday dinner's arrived thick and fast.

Chicken leg's anyone?

We came out of the pub to the next wee wee of the day, this time it was Martin's turn to get down on his knee's and pray

Bagpuss looking sweet and innocent in the afternoon sunshine, despite his naughtiness😍

@HB46443 was greatly missed today and we hope that you are feeling ok after a spot of bad luck with one of these Westfield munching machines

We all departed our separate ways from the pub and with the lengthening days ABC, son Mad Dog Pete, Big Andy and Debs came with Glen and I to Adam's Happy Hen's where ABC treated us to tea and ice cream, THANKYOU.

Thank you to all that came today, to Rob for bringing Gregg (we need to see the Fisher Fury next time!), Julian on his second visit, newbie Barry who bought his sweet 10 years old son Tom, Martin out of hibernation and Si for coming all those miles PLUS all the regulars who are so great at making everyone feel welcome.

 

Great to see so many out today, the cars looked amazing and everyone seemed to get sorted in the end, but do please go and check your bottom hose on your radiator as it is the new fashion for it to leak.

 

Next weekend is Mother's Day so we will be reverting to cafe's as they are quieter than the pubs, see you then!

 

 

 

 

 

A great run out as usual thanks Julie! and some awesome photos, although the sneaky under the table shot was was nearly not so much chicken legs but chicken balls!😂

Hmm

 

Bagpuss looked rather guilty when I got home and asked where some of my water had gone?

Looks like we missed a great day out.

 

But we are making lots of progress on the winter upgrades (proof below) and we'll be back out soon.

Missing to many of these but life’s been in the way last couple of runs. Will endeavour to get back up with you all asap. Hoping Hedley hasn’t done anything serious to himself or car🤞

I probably won't make this one. I've new seals on order, which I need to fit before I can troubleshoot any further, so not enough time, really, to sort it out.

But you did make this one? Did you mean to post on the one for the 27th?

 

I blame @Julie Hall - Joint Peak District AO for being so active and filling up the local meets with lots of awesome trips out round the peaks.
