Peak District Run Out, Sun 22 Feb, 10am, Whitworth

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Meet at the Terrace Cafe, The Whitworth, Station Road, Darley Dale, Matlock, DE4 2EQ, 10am.

 

 

We have met there a few times before in the large car park, that is free if you input your car registration number into the machine in the cafe within 30 minutes of arrival.

 

From Matlock take the A6 towards Bakewell for 2 miles, when you pass the BP garage on your right look for the traffic lighted pedestrian crossing, pass this to keep going and the beautiful old building on your left is The Whitworth, as signposted. Turn left into the car park, which is a bit hidden, if you go through the speed cameras you have gone too far. (Don't turn left down the big road junction onto Station Road as that will deliver you to the back of the building and we will have a jolly good laugh at you).

 

A day of the usual driving routes and banter on a full board basis, come and join us quick while there is a break in the rain.

 

Who is coming?

(Due Monday ) but at least I’m sticking it together rather than taking it apart  have fun you brave souls luv Andy & Becky xx

[Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO]

Well I hope you had a great day , I had a productive one in the garage and even had some help 

she smiling so I’m still in the good books for now !!!

@aeg you won't find any cake under there will you?  so hurry yourselves up, it's March next weekend and time to pay the nice tax man.

 

We, however, met at The Whitworth where they sell lots of lovely food, this is us in the car park

 

 

and this is us in the cafe

 

 

Dave had to scoot off but it was lovely to see him and thank you for the advice on the steering wheel, 15mm spacer purchased , thank you Ian for the link  don't they look after you xx

 

Off we went on a sunny run round the Peak District finally feeling like Spring is coming. We arrived at The Yondermann Cafe and found a nice parking spot next to a friendly Mustang owner, of course he was friendly, he was from Barnsley, a true Yorkshireman. At 4.6 litre and V6, he let me get in and start it up, ooooooooo, that put a smile on my face.

 

 

Parked at The Yondermann

 

 

Some had already moved over to summer shorts

 

 

Chris joined us for lunch and popped along to the next stop for cake too, he's well trained

 

 

After discovering it was someone's birthday, we had a good excuse to nip down to The Pavillion, Baslow for cakes

 

 

Parked in Baslow with Ian's black cloud

 

 

Monkey's Tea Party

 

 

So that was it, we managed to have a great day out and we didn't get wet, nothing short of a miracle. I was just missing one of my Winter Warriors, Gnasher, I hope he is ok and look forward to seeing him again soon x

 

Thanks for a lovely day out, it's been superb. We are on holiday next weekend but will be back out the weekend after, weather permitting, see you then x

Just incase your worried I'm going to be out of practice in April @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative  this is my second fresh cream Belgium bun today

 

And I had a slice of Sicilian lemon and black currant cake yesterday. So all is good except my cholesterol levels

Looks like you had a good day and the weather was lovely today.

We'll see you all soon hopefully.
