Write Up Another Drive in the Peaks

[Mint]

We met @Grumps & Jue for Sunday lunch today and as the weather so good we decided to have a drive in the Zeds. A lovely run in the November sunshine with the roofs down, from Mickleover through Mercaston and on towards Carsington Water. Then turned west into the Peaks through Parwich and Alsop en le Dale finishing up at the Wetton Tea Room. We stopped for a great cream tea and after saying our goodbyes we had another top down run home. What a great way to spend a Sunday, great food, cars, roads, weather and company.

Yep that's what we did .

The roads were a lot dryer and cleaner than last Sunday, shame we missed you at Wetton .

So glad you managed to get out dont see many braving the roof down this time of year..


I managed to sneak an hour or so out this morning too.. needed to clear my head / hangover.... and get out of the kitchen refit...... and get out of Handsomejills way as she was in bed sleeping...after her 13 hour night shift.....

roof down from the start... very cold but sunny... trapper hat and driving gloves was order of the day.. and heated seats on warm and toast and heaters blowing hot on to my legs... short trip down to abertillery, and ebbw vale with a photo stop at cwm pics later.... back home via brynmawr with another photo stop at trevor rowson park so lovely the colours this time of year...

Sounds like you had a good trip out, good to get away from the kitchen for a bit

Twas a most pleasant day out. Weather was very kind although we did nesh it on the last stint home and kept the roof up, was bloody chilly though. I did get a "warning, s*** in road" from the passenger.

Yesterday was a perfect day in Pensacola Dave, a cloudless blue sky for the Airshow, when we left this morning it was cold(ish) and grey. We ran into some sun on the 457 mile run back but roof up all the way. Much warmer down here in Orlando. Ain't you got a lorry to drive or summat ?
