Gutted we are in Wales working away 😢

We arrived early at Quackers

 

 

Soon the troops arrived with Glynn next

 

 

A last minute decision (escape) from Jake

 

 

Paul and Margaret

 

 

then I was too busy chatting to photograph any more arrivals

 

 

This is the full quota of cars, 7 sevens so today we were the 49ers

 

 

We sunbathed on the terrace at Quackers cafe

 

 

After a catch up we set off on our route, up the hill towards the Longshaw Estate past fifty thousand cyclists puffing away, glorious scenery down surprise view and on to Winnats Pass. It was never going to be a clear run on a sunny Sunday in August so we just enjoyed the alpine scenery as we drove in second gear with the engine at 90 degrees. Up and over Mam Nick to get to the Rambler Inn for midday.

 

 

The 'small' lunches arrived thick and fast

 

 

Here we are parked in the scenic car park at The Rambler Inn

 

 

 

 

Who fancies cake? We carefully chose the route to avoid the tourists and had a good run to the Cupola Cafe, which also has a very scenic car park

 

 

 

 

Wait for it

 

 

Intensley chocolatey torte

 

 

But oh Glynn stole the show with his Bailey's Bread and Butter Pudding, just look at the size of it!!

 

 

Andrew came for a comparison and was very disappointed, where is @Andy Westwood when you need him?

 

 

We've had a fantastic day, what colour are her eyes? Double D, still laughing at that one! and the wonky indicators? hilarious. Also my intermittent indicators? a loose connector, all fixed so I can stand down my right arm signals for now.

 

Thanks for a brilliant day out guys, apparently we are going to Silverstone next weekend so maybe we'll see you in a fortnight, kiss kiss xx

Here's a few from me from today. Thanks Julie for organising this, and thanks to all who made it a great morning out

Gathering at Qackers.

 

 

 

Off we go with great views.

Then we got to Winnats.

 

 

Then we waved goodbye.
