This will be a great one to cut your teeth on and it'll be great to have you. Are you local to Derbyshire?

 

[Steve Cliff]

I am doing a run out around the Derbyshire Peaks May next year. 21st May
Depending on numbers will depend on how many groups are run for this.
THIS WILL BE EITHER A BRING YOUR OWN LUNCH FOR A PICNIC OR PURCHASING FOOD ALONG THE ROUTE
I will be doing a recce to source a lunch spot but i am factoring stops at Speedwell Cavern, Lognor and Wetton Tea Rooms so we will be taking in the Obligatory Tunnel. The starting point will be Alfreton Services just off the A38 and ending at Carsington Water for our final chat and goodbyes. The type of drive will depend on numbers ie if there is only the one group then it will be run at the slowest drivers pace but if there are 2 or more groups then there will be a Drivers Focused Group and the other Groups will drive at either the Lead Cars pace or the slowest drivers pace.
I know a few may be put off because of the way i like to drive but be assured you will not be asked to do any driving you are not comfortable with and you will be able to drive at your own pace.

That sounds like a good plan - perhaps with a coffee or pub stop - when were you thinking of doing it?

 

[Craig Orton]

We have found a place for the picnic over looking the Errwood Res just hoping it is not too packed but has the largest parking. Hoping to do a couple of full recce's over the next few months. Some of the roads are a great mix of scary, scenic and very twisty
