Manchester Mike Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Subject to the weather I am planning a drive through some of the most picturesque countryside in the UK. I ‘m aiming to leave my house at 10.30 (all welcome) or 10.35 at McDonalds Mottram (End of M67) then its onto Castleton, next is Chatsworth House then Matlock and back via Bakewell (to pickup some tarts) and on home. And I'll bet out of all of that it's the tarts thats got you interested. PS And Scott if your coming, bring a cutch cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananaman Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Man City v Birmingham City 2.00pm Sunday 16th March Shame as i could do with giving the Westy a good shakedown B4 Cadwell & the roads round there are V.Nice. Beware Mobile speed cams though, i was going over to Mansfield on the A627 the other week & all these Cars & Bikers were flashing me & the other oncomming traffic (Thanks ) What the F*** they were protecting up there I don't know? Still managed to wave (or rather gestgure) at sad filth, sat in the back of his Van as i went passed at 50mph, hope the heater was broke (i was Feb ) hole.

westyfield Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Good to hear you are visiting our neck of the woods.. avoid the A6 near Bakewell and through to Matlock if you can..not only solid with tourists on a Sunday but Cameras every 1/2 mile and where they arn't there could be a white van with laser!.. they are out to catch the bikers on their way to Matlock Bath! After Chatsworth try the road from Beeley Village up over Beeley Moor across to Tansley Common and down to Dethick (Where Blue Peter's Simon Groom Lives!!, Lea Bridge and stop for coffee at Cromford Mill ... Have a good run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianm Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Posted: Mar. 15 2003,16:58 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Got up early and was out in the Derbyshire hills, Cat & Fiddle etc, by 8.00am, precious little traffic, no sign of plod and a gorgeous day with the car working a treat, Now must improve mi brakes to take full advantage Brian. Have a good day, may just see you out there tomorrow, but being threatened with domestic duties at present, well I have been out all Friday and Sat in the car. Today was brilliant, as I said you really have to get out early to get the best of these roads. Westyfield, did you get out today, spotted 1 westy, 3 catery things and a probable robin hood, and a convoy of 3 wheeled ?'s. Incidentally I got an almost clear run all the way up the A6 in to Buxton, you don't get that midsummer or many Sundays Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westyfield Posted March 15, 2003 Share Posted March 15, 2003 Hi Brian, took the trail bike (Beta Alp) out with some biking mates this morning and did about 40 miles up and over the hills above Hathersage and Castleton..no traffic up there but loads of bxxxxx ramblers! No Westfield tomorrow either but taking the trials bike (Fantic 200.. 1980 vintage) to compete in a trial near Ashbourne. Can't believe this weather At coffee stop in Baslow talking to a Radar / Laser cop on his way to set up on the A623 nr Peak Forest !!! Quizzed him as to range of his laser gun.. 1 kilometer..
