Albeit I'm currently an imposter, unfortunately I'm away seeing family for the day Saturday 🙄

[AndrewBClarke]

Tomorrow’s going to be interesting. A57 shut at Dunham Bridge. A617 shut at Kelham. The only other route is via Newark which has been on the news due to the Trent bursting its banks and flooding the area. Still nothing is going to get between me and the bacon sarny. 😁. 
Looking forward to it as normal.

You'll be fine, set off anytime now and you might just get there in time😮💦

Brilliant day out again thanks. 247miles of smiles. Some left home with salt on the ground. Some with full sun in their faces. Some avoiding the rain showers. I had long diversions (20 miles extra on the way and 37 mile on the way home) to avoid flooded A57 and A617 which seem to have cut Lincolnshire off from the mainland. Left home 7.30am in the dark and returned at 6pm again in the dark. 
😁

 

My route to the West - 

 

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

We met at the Great British Car Journey car museum, most of us having de-iced at least one car to get our Westfield's off our driveway's this morning. 

 

We found the hot radiator in the cafe and the breakfasting began

 

 

By now the sun had risen out of our eyes a bit and we set off on our great British car journey through the beautiful, sun soaked Peak District. I was revelling in how wonderful a place it is in the winter, with the very quiet roads, until we got to Castleton and what a contrast, I think the whole of nearby Sheffield had emptied onto Mam Tor. There were cars and people everywhere, not to worry, we soon came out of it and landed in Edale at The Rambler Inn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you to Glen for removing his gloves and taking those photo's, in the cold, on the move.

 

At The Rambler Inn

 

 

We had lunch and decided we needed to top it off with cake from a new place that has opened in the Hope Valley, called Bike and Boot. The eatery there is called BARECA, so named because it is a BAR, a REstaurant and a CAfe all rolled into one.

 

 

The car park at Bike and Boot

 

 

The cake, well what's left of my Victoria sponge cake

 

 

Today, Glynn was the Cake Meister and he blew you Andrew's @AndrewBClarke, @aeg, @Andy Westwood right out of the water with this dessert.

 

 

It was enormous. Lovely photo there, Glynn.

 

 

A lovely place to visit and one to add to our 'go to' list.

The driving has been great (surprisingly), although it was cold early on, it was amenable during the day, the locations have been tremendous and the company was je ne sais quois, champion. Let's do this again very soon! Thanks guys XXX

 

 

[Glynn Walters]

Great day out and some great food and company👍

Ran into some more tarmac sheeps on the way home at chatsworth! (And loads of traffic lights 🤨)

So the light was gone by the time I got back home and headlights were deployed.

 

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

Gutted I missed this, hopefully I'll out next weekend 👍

I need to persuade my wife to move north!

Tricky driving with the low winter sun, but made from some great views on the way to the Museum.
