Peak District Run Out, Easter Sun 20th April, 10am Quacker's

[Tony H]

Hi , have you got the postcode for Quackers cafe please ?

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

Don’t use the post code - it takes you to the wrong place, here’s Quackers instructions:

 

Access by car is via the A6020, Hassop to Ashford Road just off the A6.
Follow our Parkland Drive to our brand new car park. There is a drop off zone outside the café and 5 disabled parking bays next to the café.

Use what3words///gather.mango.tank to find us (our postcode doesn’t take you to the correct location).

 

Here’s the turning on the map.

 

When you turn left off the A6020, through the gates, follow the estate road round, then take the right hand fork and head up, past the ponds, the car park is at the end of this road.

Thanks for sorting the directions out Dave 👍

 

I have booked us all in for lunch, so no more entries please as there will be nowhere for you to eat. Thank you for understanding on a busy Easter Sunday (I had to negotiate a table booking without a £10 a head deposit, trade concessions as my sales manager used to teach me 😉)

[Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO]

Our “maybe” is now a definitely 👍

edit to add no lunch for us, on a diet 😮😂

[Tony H]

I will leave it then as I left it too late , have a great day everyone 

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

I have included you @Tony H

[Tony H]

Oh no, thought because I hadn’t definitely said yes I wasn’t included, sorry Julie

Say hey, good lookin' - what ya got cookin'?

 

 

Well it might be a Westfield and not a hot rod FORD but it sounds good. (Younger generation please google Hank Williams).Vicki @Steve Bosworth.

 

We met at Quacker's cafe, it was freeeeezing and a bit cloudy but we were all glad to be out on a dry forecast.

 

Car park. Jake, our photographer for the day, was taking some snazzy shots too.

 

 

 

Inside Quacker's Cafe, nice and warm despite me suggesting we sit outside and Glen suggesting we didn't 😆 It's not the first time today we were all thanking Glen.

 

Next we went on the run out, a route devised by Glen and what a cracker it was, thank you for the second time today, Glen 😍. A slight delay to the set off as Glynn had to change his shoes (not the stilleto's, that's this evening's club😮).

 

Paul and Margaret were coming on the run and then disappearing early to get ready for a few months in Europe in the van, see you in June!

 

We were booked in for lunch at The Bike and Boot, Hope Valley. A new build hotel for activity breaks and very welcoming to car clubs.

 

Bike and Boot car park

 

The menu is amazing, Glen had paella, not our usual kind of food

We needed dessert after that so off we went to The Pavillion at Baslow and were greeted by the usual selection of sicklyness

 

 

We sat outside and enjoyed our cakes in the warm sunshine

 

 

We sit overlooking our beautiful cars. A man with a massive camera came over and asked if we raced them, we replied, 'No officer' 😁

A brilliant day out, a good laugh, surprisingly quiet roads and establishments. Thanks for keeping the convoy together with all your excellent driving, it makes my life easier.

 

Thank you to Glynn for guarding the rear of the convoy, also giving me peace of mind that everyone is looked after.

 

 

See you all next time.

 

[Jakejmagee]

Fantastic day out once again with the gang. Never disappoints.

What3words is super handy. I wish more people would use it.
