Peak District Run Out, Sun 9 Nov, Cupola

Another smashing day out, thanks as ever to Julie & Glen. Roads pretty quiet and we had a fab drive up and back. A little foggy but all adds to the fun.

I so envy you guys up there. Always blatting around. We need more 'Julies' in other regions. Any chance you can be cloned @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative ?

Warning to all Westfield drivers!! If you don't come out into the Peak District on a regular basis you will end up with Bagpuss Related Bad Parking Syndrome, as demonstated perfectly here!  we won't name names though😁

 

 

Thanks Dan for the photo

 

 

Breakfast for 9 in Cupola Cafe. Excellent quality food, not cheap but defo not nasty.

 

 

We were out of the cafe before 11 and off on our run out. It stayed dry, the roads were really quiet, I did a superb last minute left turn (proud of that, nearly missed it!), had to take my sunglasses off on the tops due to fog and we all landed safely at The Tea Junction, Hulme End.

We all had a Worzel Gummidge moment, here's mine

 

 

Ian was in control of his hair this week, until he sat next to me that is😁

 

 

That's it, we were done in record time and on our way home at 12:45, dry, light and all good having had a fun day with not a word of common sense between us.

 

It's @AndrewBClarke's Christmas Party next Saturday at The Bentley Brook, if the weather is kind I will be doing a run out beforehand, looking forward to it, see you all there XXXX

There is something quite magical about driving a Westie in the fog. As long as it's not too bad, it's quite exciting.

 

Some of my most memorable kit car moments have been in the fog, like the time at about 5.30am on the A46 heading towards Stroud, when I was the only car on the road for miles around and I suddenly heard this thuck, thuck, thuck sound.

 

Ah bum, flat tyre I thought, but no vibration? Looked up to my right and a low flying Chinook had spotted me, he changed course and came straight towards me and buzzed me!

 

I could literally see guys in the windows waving! I lost the plot and started waving and screaming like some loony! It was a true 'special moment' of my kit car life, I felt like I was in Top Gun or some such film. I will never ever forget that blat!

 

I wish I'd had a 360° camera that I can tell you, what a video that would have made!
