Write Up First Run Out of 2022

[Mint]

Another great top down day in the sun with @Bozzy. After meeting at McDonalds for a quick brekky we headed off via Rocester, Winkhill, The Winking Man Pub, and on to the Cat & Fiddle road down towards Buxton. Cut off before Buxton to go to the High Peak Bookstore & Cafe for lunch. After lunch headed up via Millers Dale to the A623 then East towards Baslow then down to Bakewell and on to Carsington Water finishing in Brailsford to tea & cake. Got home just before it got dark so another 120 top down miles in the bag, not much traffic about and great company.
Not many photos, too busy enjoying the drive, 'till the next time...

Having just looked at that last photo, looks like both Zeds need a good clean. When are you available @andyglym

 

[Shelly]

Glad you all enjoyed your day out
Looks like you had beautiful weather

Yes Mike, well and truly over Covid now, I almost feel normal again.

[And me being 'normal' is not up for discussion]

I was thinking more in Spring/Summer as atm we tend to make a go/no go decision based on tomorrows weather forecast. So not too much time for planning.
