A Sunday blat round the Yorkshire Dales


Recommended Posts

Posted

A couple of mates were doing a recce on Sunday for an event they were organising. I was at home for the weekend (Mothers Day! ) so invited myself along to join them. ;)

The sun was shining (a rare occasion for Yorkshire), roads were dry(ish) and it would have been rude not to get the westy out!

We went on some fantastic roads with great views as an added bonus. The westy felt right at home on the narrow twisty bits and has now done it's first 1000 miles.

I have added quite a few photos because I couldn't decide which ones to leave out. If you haven't got Broadband, please look away now! :t-up:

Looks like the polish will come in handy m8.

:D

Lad at work who's getting the stuff for us has been in london at boat show since friday so I haven't got it yet but I'm hoping it should be here by wednesday.

I'll give you a shout as soon as I get it.

:t-up:

lol, how did you guess?  :D

He he, could certainly do with a few coats afterwards! In fact the dirt was so good that I'm doing the route again tommorow with one of the guys. I'll be letting the Golf take the muck this time though!  :D

Whats the event?

It's a 'Dales Run' they are doing on mini2.com. Wouldn't like to be on some of those single track roads with 25 minis coming the opposite way!   :oops:

It's not a run, it's a Mini adventure :)

Erm, are your front tyres on the right way round?

Why not choose a couple of those and email them to the WW photo competition editor@wscc.co.uk  :t-up:  I particularly like your last pic, that sums up Westfield ownership beautifully  :D

Greeny,

Just out of interest, are those wheel centre caps supplied by Westfield, or have you just got stickers from them and made them up?

Thanks for the kind comments people. :)

I must admit that I did feel a bit out of place with my 'helmet hair'!  :cool:

They are just the standard Team Dynamics centre caps with the outer rim filed off and then covered up with Westfield badges.

Hang on a minute, which one's the Westie?

I love photo number four, can I steel it for my desktop?

Sorry to those who PM'd me about the photos, I accidentally deleted some of your messages and can't remember who you are!  :durr:

Anyway, I had some free time so I've hosted a couple of them in their original size.

Just click on the photo and it should load up....hopefully!

Had a nice blat out today into Macclesfield. Took the infamous A537 Buxton- Macclesfield road. Very similar scenery, car ended up just as filthy. I was cold and had a great time.
