Peak District Run Out, Bank Holiday Mon 26th Aug, 10am, car museum

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Meet at The Great British Car Journey car museum, DE56 2HE at 10am.

 

Monday has been forecast as the best weather day this weekend.

 

It is a car meet at the museum so it will cost you a fiver entry fee. Food and drinks are available along with lots of other lovely cars to look around.

 

After a hour or so we will take off into the wilderness in search of twisty tarmac and end up somewhere away from the tourists.

 

Who is coming?

I did say Sunday when I saw you last weekend, but now the weather forecast is better for Monday, so I am sorry about that one Paul. It looks like there is some sunshine to be had next week, have a great holiday and we hope to see you and Margaret next time x

The car museum was super busy, it was a 'meet' plus they were celebrating the Mini being 65 years old today and I think a 'good weather Bank Holiday day might have helped too. Ollie on the gate looked after us and directed us to a natty little parking spot, out of the way but still on show, I like it and we will park there again. here we are.

 

 

After a bit of tyre kicking we mgrated to the cafe for a quick brew before our run out.

 

 

Just as we were about to leave @ben1975 and @Exige man Ben and Allan arrived, they had come to the museum event and were not coming on the run, so we swapped parking places.

 

 

Our run out avoided Matlock Bath and Bakewell, it was busy out there and there was even traffic on our usually empty little lanes.

 

I did my first emergency stop for a while, I knew that ruddy woman was going to pull out on me, I knew it. I was glad Big Andy is a good driver and also managed to stop, thank you buddy.

 

We managed to make good time and landed at Wormhill for cake, 'What before lunch?' I hear you ask. Yes it was how the route planned out and you wouldn't want to miss this would you?

 

 

Just in case you missed the actual size of this home baked lovliness from the local village ladies, have a closer look. Real stuff, that's where it was stuck to the tin, that flaky bit.

 

 

With a distinct lack of Andy's @AndrewBClarke @aeg @Andy Westwood, who usually get the largest slices of cake, we bought our own Andy, @Big Andy who obliged.

 

 

Next was a pop over the hill for those far reaching views, a tickle through Litton, up the twisties and we arrived at The Cow Shed for lunch, we were hungry after eating all that cake.

 

Cow Pie

 

 

 

 

Chris had one of those Bagpuss style number plates

 

 

James MX5 supercharged engined Westfield which I really enjoyed travelling behind me

 

 

 

 

That's All Folks, I think James and Jake carried on up to Ladybower but the rest of us scooted off home to beat the traffic before it all decided to leave the Peak District in one go at tea time. We had a good run back with Big Andy and a ruddy good day out, thanks for coming everyone, especially to Terence and his wife who promised at Malvern to pay us a visit.
