A huge thanks to @Paul&Di, @bertiejaffa, @Bozzy, @AleNod, @Mark Parrish, @VV54, @Rod and Kate, @Oldguysrule and @andyglym for making the journey to our meeting point at Costa Coffe in Uttoxeter, Staffs. We met at 09:00 for a quick chat before moving off at 09:30 for the first leg of our days drive out. We set off with roofs down and battled with the low cloud and drizzle up on the top roads to the west of Longnor but roofs stayed down all the way to our first stop at The Yonderman Cafe. After being refreshed with teas and coffees [and cake, you know who you are] we set off again but after a few miles the weather turned against us and some [most] of us put our roofs up. Our lunch stop was at the Oil Can Cafe up at Holmfirth. The next leg down to a loo stop at Baslow saw the weather improve so the last leg back to Costa was completed roof down.
We lost one car due to a faulty alternator, but the RAC were there within 30 minutes to help out.
Overall a great day on some lovely roads with excellent company, but not the views I had when I did the recce last Wednesday.
A few photos from me ...
'till the next one...
