The forecast is.....expect cake to be served, the weather is looking good for this  so we will go for a run out afterwards 🏎️🏎️🏎️🎂🍰

 

Will there be many going in the museum & how long will we have if we go in after breakfast?

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

I doubt if anyone will be going in the museum. We will start relaxing with a nice coffee/food, sit and chat to allow other cars to arrive, then we will go outside to have a look at all the cars and chat with their owners.

 

When everyone is ready we will go for a run out, as it is Spare Seat Pete's birthday we will finish at the Bakewell Tap Room for a zero alcohol beer and pizza. (Riverside Brewery, Buxton Road, Bakewell, DE45 1GS)

 

If you want to go around the museum, I suggest you go straight in (it opens at 9.30) or come back in the afternoon on the way home.

 

@Tony H there are 2 petrol stations in Bakewell 😁just sayin'

Just finished getting my car back together with its new radiator and intercooler so we will be there.

Half hour late, electrons not flowing

Flat battery this morning meant Team Hall did a quick nose cone off and battery swap. I was impressed when we arrived at the museum that they had reserved our favourite parking spaces on the left under the sign, that's thoughtful of them.

 

 

 

Coffee, breakfast butties and relax as we all had a catch up in the cafe at the museum

 

 

There were lots of Lotus but I personally didn't see one single Caterham, what are they trying to say to the organisers?

 

 

 

We went on a lovely run out through the sunny countryside, @Tony H made me laugh when he said how he enjoyed it but hadn't got any clue where he had actually been, that's job satisfaction for me Tony👍

 

This is the bit where we don't mention ALDI 😁 we arrived at Thornbridge Brewery and it was rather more busy than expected, the Father's Day effect I think.

 

We parked up

 

 

 

Ordered the beer and pizza. I had the 0.5% alcohol Green Mountain Hazy Session IPA and it was very good indeed, I am changing my opinion of alcohol free beers, they are actually just like beer.

 

 

A lot of chat over lunch about next Sunday when we set off on our Lakes and Dales Tour, the excitement is building and everyone is sooooooo looking forward to it.

 

 

If you visit Bakewell anytime, pop in here it's worth a look

 

 

A bit different and a really good day out, thanks everyone for coming
