Peak District Run Out, Sun 8th March, 10am Car Museum

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Meet at The Great British Car Journey, Ambergate, DE56 2HE for breakfast before heading off into the Peak District for a run out.

 

We will be taking the exact route we took at our last meet because we loved it that much, this time we are able to finish at the Calver Arms for lunch (no local derby on the football screen this week)

 

Weather is forecast good at the moment, please check on here before travelling just in case it changes and I have to cancel.

 

All welcome at the museum, members only on the run out, keep it fair to those that pay.

 

Who is able to join us?

Meeting on a dry and foggy day at the car museum were 5 Westfield's

 

 

 

Breakfast and a good catch up on everybodies car stories

 

 

We went on the run out, which was the same route as last time as it was excellent for 2 main reasons, one reason being it is full of nice bendy roads for the drivers and the second reason is that the views are great for the passengers. The fog on the high ground added a more interesting and challenging element to the driving but did spoil it a bit for the passengers. I think we will go for this route again on a brighter day.

 

We arrived at The Calver Arms and Lee checked his car out as he seemed to have filled his tank with Kangaroo Juice.

In the Calver Arms

 

 

We popped down the road to the Pavillion Cafe, Baslow to finish off

 

This normally very shiny car does get down and dirty and it got much more sludgy on the way out of the car park, good job it's 2 owners love washing cars

 

 

Ian followed us into the overflow car park, the only way out was through the thick sludge, don't spin those wheels!

Mild enough to sit outside

 

 

It's been a superb day out, the driving was excellent, the views were garbage, the company was hilarious, quuite how we did cars, death and semtex all in one paragraph I don't know. It's a good job we never get any alcohol flowing or goodness knows where we might end up.

 

Thanks for coming everyone and see you next time,

The Angel of Death

Had a great day thanks Julie&Glen. Not sure how many more we will have, now that we are probably on the terrorist watch list. The conversations today did drift toward the dark side, maybe something followed us out of the fog. Great roads, great views(apparently) and brilliant company. Our car is completely plastered with muck and s… hope to have it clean before our next trip out.
