Peak District - Old Smithy Tearooms, Monyash, 10am Sunday 10th July

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

Hi all!

 

Due to our illustrious leader @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative  being on holiday (probably throwing herself in random lakes!) we are doing our own thing in the Peaks tomorrow.

 

We are planning to meet at the Old Smithy Tearooms in Monyash (DE45 1JH) at 10am for a brew and a buttie. Route after breakfast is TBC 👍. Hopefully @Lee Bennettmay take up the role of squadron leader after breakfast 😂

 

The "southern" contingent will do a pre-meet at the normal A50/A38 services (DE65 6DX) at 845am for a 9am departure. The convoy will stop for fuel at Newhaven about 945am for those with thirstier cars.

 

While the route won't be as meticulously planned as usual, the weather looks fab and I'm sure we'll have fun 👍

How did you guess? I have chosen Semer Water for a swim, a natural glacial lake, doubt it will be very warm up there😱

 

Have a great day in this amazing weather x

What a beautiful day for a run in the Peak District!

 

With @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative  away we had to make our own entertainment.... I'd just like to say, its so much easier when someone else is planning the day! 😂

 

I picked up new member Steve @SBozzy on the way (a very brave man being my passenger for the day!) before meeting Ash, Tony and Alex at the services. We were also pleased to see Ian arrive (a friend and potential new member who owns a bike engined MK Indy).

 

 

We set off, up to Wirksworth before cutting cross country on remarkably quiet back roads to Monyash to meet @Lee Bennett and his mate who owns a glorious 200bhp Mk1 Cortina!

 

After a spot of breakfast in the sunshine with liberal helpings of banter, we headed off following Lee hoping to find more quiet roads.

 

After slight miss step when we got split up, we met again on the Via Gellia before a completely clear run down the B5056 (one of my favourite roads!) to the Bentley Brook Inn.

 

Ian, Ash and Tony had a curfew so had to head home, while the rest of us landed in the beer garden for a well deserved cold drink 😎

 

 

 

A fun day out of B Road blasts, meeting new members, encouraging new membership, loads of chatting cars, a bit of banter and plenty of sunburn! 😎

 

Thanks for coming, and see you all next time 👍

Lovely stuff, what weather we are having, looks like you all had a brill day. 

 

We were cycling in the Yorkshire Dales and 12 MX5's (I counted) passed us which was great and made us think about you guys. 

 

Thanks for keeping it going @RobH72 and @Lee Bennett 👍
