I'm probably OK for the morning, I'll do a convoy up assuming the weather is OK 👍 

I might make this one.

Hi all,

 

We'll be doing the normal 9am meet at the A38/A50 services (DE65 6DX) and convoy up to Matlock.

 

If you're coming that way, feel free to tag along 👍

Not for me today, sadly. Car shopping with a nearly 17 year old 😱 Have a great run round!

Sounds more expensive than repairing/replacing my exhaust! Enjoy 😊

@Andy Westwood no Andy's wasted away in the making of this event

 

 

But we do have a new Cake Meister, that enormous slice of Banana and Pistachio cake in the middle belongs to @Glynn Walters, it was much larger than all the other slices, so be warned Westwood, you have competition!!!😆

@Andy Westwood cake report. Photo shows some of the cake. Julie’s were both pieces numbered 3 on the photo below (where does she put it??). Cake numbered 2 is Glenn’s banana cake which was huge. Cake numbered 1 is controversial. It is somewhat smaller than the slices of the same cake issued to others. I got constant moans from Mad Dog Pete all the way home (nearly 2 hours apart from the time he was asleep) complaining that his bit was the smallest. I must admit that the slice given to @aegwas soooo big that it was halved and shared (you will have to Google what that means).  Mine was so large that it didn’t fit into the camera frame size. You will just have to accept that it was much larger than any cake you have seen 😁😁 or eaten.

Welcome to the world of awesomeness. 😀😀😀

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Love it!!

 

So, firstly, thank you to Rob for stepping in last week and for putting the photo shoot on at the wind farm, nice one!

 

13 cars met at McDonald's in the glorious sunshine

 

 

 

After a brew we set off on our run, heading through Bakewell and towards Buxton, before turning across the hills and along some very empty roads to arrive at The Carriages in Newhaven, a railway themed restaurant. Thank you to Becky for taking the photo's on the move.

Much as a Sunday dinner is one of my fave meals, I could not resist this Spanish Haddock. Haddock with chilli on a tomato stew with butter beans, chorizo, served with patatas bravas, yummy.

 

Yummy but it needed finishing off with cake and Hulme End Tea Junction was only a 10 minute drive away, so off we went, cake hunting with the Andy's.

 

 

Thanks everyone for coming along, a classic mix of great driving roads and spot on food, but it can only be so much fun if you turn up too xxx

 

In 2 weeks, on Saturday the 29th, we will be meeting other areas at The Strines, Bradfield Dale, Sheffield, S6 6JE, 11 am. Come and join us, preferably in a Westfield but you can also see us there in any car ALL WELCOME. Let's finish the summer season off in style!

 

Here are some more of those fab photo's from Becky.

What an amazing turnout for a chilly October morning!

 

At 845 I was a little lonely....

 

By 9am we had a "rabble"!

 

By 10am we had a whole crowd! 😂

 

 

 

 

A big thanks to @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative  and Glen for organising a great day, and thanks to everyone for making the 3 newbies (Rachael, Iain and Ollie) feel very welcome 👍

 

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Nice to meet the newbies and thanks to Rachel for the photo's on the move
