We've just enjoyed a great weekend with @BMBabe & @Mnbrennan . I made a SpagBol on Saturday night which was washed down with beer and [too much] red wine, damson gin and black sambuca. They were a bad influence on us oldies. @Mrs Mint made one of her legendary apple crumbles and thanks to Stacey I got to enjoy it with custard this time. After a slow start on Sunday which included Bacon and Sausage baps for breakfast, we headed off into the Peak District via some very pretty Staffordshire villages. Carsington Water was absolutely heaving with folk so we headed off to a local tea room for refreshments. Then afterwards on through Brassington, Elton, Youlgreave, skirted round Bakewell, Chelmorton arriving at Longnor for a well earned toasted sandwich and drink. Finally home via the Swainsley tunnel and Ilam. A fantastic top down all day driving day. Great weather, great roads and great company. What more could you ask? Thanks to Stacey & Martin for making the trip up to Mint Towers.
Having read of some other trips out yesterday I'm amazed we didn't see anyone else up there. Anyway, here's the photos to prove the trip:
