A visit to Mint Towers from @Bazza & Jan and a promising weather forecast = day out in the Peak District.

It would have been rude not to take Barry & Jan out into our local playground. So... it was roofs down and off we went via some (very, very muddy/sh**y)Staffs roads up to our usual watering hole at Longnor. When we got there a red Z4 was already parked up which was duly carded by @Mrs Mint. No sign of the owner so no chance of a chat, never know, they may turn up here. Anyway after a leisurely lunch we headed of for more driving, out through Brockhouse, Buxton, Great Hucklow, Grindleford ending up at Baslow for tea and cake. Home via Bakewell, Ashbourne and Uttoxeter. A great day, mostly sunny but none of the wet stuff, bit cold on the top though.
Some photos of our day...

Looks like you had a nice dry and sunny day for it, it's been damp and overcast all day here.
How come @Bazza's car is dirtier than yours Dave ?.

Not sure which you like best Dave, driving the zed or cleaning it ! I just don't like getting a lot of 'sh.t' under my zed. Still, I'm sure you had a great time. I was thinking of taking mine out , but it was just wet and foggy here on Sunday morning.

Always nice to get out and about with friends and even better when a Zed or two is involved
