I think not, but Sheffield & Hallamshire Motor Club still does one in June at the Traveller's Rest pub just before Hope, opposite the road to Bradwell. Good 'un, it is.
Unfortunately, due to a small minority of nutters, this has been cancelled this year until they can sort out the crowd and traffic control. It should be back on next year. As you say, always a cracking night out with some fantastic metal on display

That's a shame.

Bit of a bad luck area of late. One death in a head on with a lorry near the Rising Sun and a nasty off performed by a young lady last weekend, halfway along the Bamford straight, when she left the road and hit a tree whilst texting, leaving the car and engine in different places. Also, woman drowned in the river near Hope and that lassie killed on a bike on Winnats a couple of weeks ago.

Been out and about in the car for a drive today, hope, castleton, bradwell etc. seen some stunning cars including a ferrari f40 (parked up on the back of a trailer sadly).

Might have found a decent place too, just out of castleton before you turn left to go up winnats pass, if you carry on ahead instead of turning left theres a very long and wide road which is a dead end so very quiet, some amazing views out toward castleton valley too.

Anyone out in the car today too?

Anyway, for photo locations try the very top of Ringinglow Road, or New road from Ringinglow to opposite the Ladybower pub

I know where you mean. Quite a lot of tourists up there on a weekend day but in the evening it would be great.

I was out yesterday too going over the snake to Manchester and some stunners were showing their flesh! Followed a ferrari for a while and also saw Aston Martins and a stunning Porsche GT3 among others biggrin

Yeh it would be busy in the day but a late summers evening it would be empty i reckon? More than enough room.

Ahhh, almost went snake pass myself but thought i'd go somewhere i usually dont, looks like i missed out now.

Shall we talk about when's good for people?

I leave Sheffield on 7th June, but completely understand if it ends up happening after I've left.

Any nice evening sounds good to me. The roads should be quieter so there will be better opportunities to get some good photos. I'll keep my eye on this thread for some dates.

We'll have to keep an eye on the weather forecast and try and get something sorted.

Morning, I'm just catching up with this thread. Where are all talking about? I could persuade my mate and his f-reg 325 convertible to have a run out as well.
