westyfield Posted August 7, 2003 Posted August 7, 2003 Mike, if you want somewhere to head for a break, there is a Transtar Classic car/bike show on near Ashbourne. Its about 5 miles south of Ashbourne on the B5032 at Doveleys (pronounced duv-lees! I will be there probably with my Grinnall (a stone smashed the Westfields screen last night) promoting our Darley Dale Festival of Transport which unfortnately is the same weekend as Donington Kit Show.

neilb Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I will try to make it - is this McD's easy to find? Thanks Neil Quote
Manchester Mike Posted August 9, 2003 Author Posted August 9, 2003 For Neil, McDonalds is easy to find, Junc. 24 M60, M67 Sheffield Barnley, at the end of the motorway roundabout take 2nd exit McDonalds is on your right. Are you coming in the db? Quote
Paul M Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 So where were the Manchester boys, arrived @ Castleton main car park bang on 10:30 and waited nearly an hour, then spent a couple of hours round the snake/ ladybower area before heading home. Got absolutely soaked in a deluge on the way home so am I safe in assuming that the weather put you off ? Quote
P W Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 Chesterfield sunny, Chatsworth looking gloomy, Castleton @1030 sunny, drive round for a bit, had a chat with some bloke and his missus from Rotherham with a yellow nose cone, made our way over to Bakewll p****g it down (passed a yellow westie? for some reason didn't seem to want to stop 4 a chat), tried to park under a tree, went 4 lunch, watched various blues bands playing in the market square (hoping that the rain would subside - it didn't), parking ticket ran out, back to car to go home, car absolutely wet through - lucky I had my extra absorbent shorts on !! soon dried off once got going and out of bakewell - as was discussed on the coast to coast just drive faster and the rain misses you......
