Hi Nick, no problem. Glad to here it's running well. Yes, no problem to bring it to a future run, just let me know in advance.

 

Yes, you've missed a good day out!

A few pics from me. We did discuss the Air ambulance at lunch and I was sorry to see it at work in Hartington. A biker down, road closed and at least 5 police cars, one Ambulance and a helicopter in attendance. A sobering reminder of what can go wrong even on dry, sunny roads.  T

 

The start line at McD-

 

 

We were snapped in Matlock too- https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=madhead69&set=a.5762495767094361

 

A brief video- 

 

 

 

 

A popular peaky (dogging spot), sorry, view point

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not trying to prove @BillyPee is two feet tall, honnestly 😉

 

 

A great run with great company and good to have 'Mad dog' Pete Clarke in the passenger seat.

We met at McD's and ABC proudly showed us the mighty Rover 3.9l V8 and that he had tidied up the wiring after issues with the fuel pump last week

 

 

Soon Bagpuss roared into the car park

 

 

the line up just before Andy and Becky arrived

 

 

The first car in shot is David and Freddie's, a Duratec engined car that will be for sale very soon

 

 

The Duratec engine bay

 

 

Everyone likes to pour over engine bays

 

 

After a refreshment stop some folk had other plans and went on their way. The rest followed us for a photo shoot on Longstone Edge

 

 

 

 

 

As shown in the previous post, Ian also took some photo's, photographing you photographing me. I don't know who is the daftest here, you or me.

 

 

Anyway, we dropped down the road to the Yondermann to find it was full, no FULL, of motorbikes so off we went to the garden centre at Chatsworth. There wasn't one single motorbike, cyclist or hiker there, so don't go telling them that it is a great place to eat and not at all like up at the posh house.

A few more peeled off at this point, leaving a line up of 5 cars.

 

Chatsworth car park

 

 

ABC went for their very delicious Sunday Roast

 

 

And just in case Clare wasn't feeding him later (unlikely) he had Roulade for afters

 

 

It was all calm at this point, but we had 2 of the 3 Andy's around the table, it could get messy

 

 

The 2 Andy's are sat next to each other, it won't end well......and now the cakes have arrived

 

 

OMG, @Andy Westwood, stop sunbathing on that beach and get yourself in the middle of these 2

 

 

I sat at the opposite end of the table to be safe, nowhere is safe

 

 

After the bun fight we got down to some more serious stuff, Andy's @aeg car was only firing on 3 cylinders and it had to be investigated in the car park.

 

To find that there is a leak on the rocker cover gasket causing oil to go into the plughole

 

 

Now is a good time to remind everyone who owns a Westfield to go and check if the bolts have worked loose on the rocker cover, with all the vibration it does happen.

 

Thank you to Rob for bringing the cars up from the Southern part of our area and to Ian for the photo's and Bagpuss TV. We hope everyone enjoyed the run, scenery and quiet back roads, not to mention cake, thanks for coming everyone and see you next time.

Well after having to work 6 days this week just so we could come and enjoy a day out with friends, even the weather was well behaved . 
Here’s some photos of the day taken by the better half ?

The nice quiet back roads 

being followed by 2 breakfasts @BillyPee 

playing dodge the cyclist 

taking photos of silly people taking photos

something is wonky !! Car, tree or horizon, take your pick but Becky says it’s not her 

and so much for the 4 week beach body diet……

and after drying the oil off the plug leads and tightening the cam cover bolts and still driving home farting popping and banging I can confirm it was f**** all to do with that 🤬 it was this 

so I apologise to all the people that I scared to death on the way home with the pops and bangs and the cars I held up trying to pull away from lights, junctions and islands . But thanks all for a great day out and see you all next time, luv Andy and Becky

Looks like you had a great time as you all ways do.

 

we spent the weekend end camping in the peak district in the Flagg area,and was hoping to pop out and say hi but didn’t get chance so I did a little cake hunt down the Monsal Trail and stopped at the Quackers Café for cake and coffee (sorry no pics 😢).
