Is anyone going over to spectate at this? We are going and wondered who else is planning to go? Weather looks good so far.

Got the 'Malvern' feeling today as we were all stood about yakking in a field for a few hours after freezing for a hour on a dual carriageway early in the  morning. I thought I would park as close as possible to Bagpuss😕

 

 

 

 

The armed response had followed @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO into Curborough, which worried him slightly! @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman cosied up to them in the car park because the colour scheme matched his car.

 

 

Then @Stu Faulkner and Ethan arrived

 

 

@HB46443 @Mark19691  @Lee beech and Paul parked in the naughty corner with @TonyH

 

 

While we all had a good catch up we watched the Caterhams on track and quickly glanced the paddocks

 

 

oh fancy that, I have photographed a MX5, oops

 

Ian led a run up to the Peak District and to Tagg Lane for ice cream. It was nice to follow someone else for a change so thank you Ian.

 

Tagg Lane

 

 

 

Tagg Lane ice cream

 

 

Tagg Lane, ice cream all gone

 

 

Everyone headed off from here in a very different direction to us, so we solo'd to The Pavilion, Baslow for a coffee before heading home.

 

 

Flippin radiator fan switch isn't turning off. If anyone can source a 90 to 95 one please let me know, there are millions on ebay, huff.

 

 

A champion day out, a bit last minute but glad we upped and went, great to see you all xxx

Sadly we got there too late to see everyone .. we were only there a short time when we saw everyone leaving .. doh!  Better luck next time. Spent a bit of time with Hedley who's always good value for a chat, thank you    Maybe see some of you at the track day on friday.
