Barn Farm Camping & Scenic Run-out 2014
Discussion
OK everyone, following the successful first two dummy runs, here are the details for the Third edition of our fun weekend based at Barn Farm Camping, Birchover, Derbyshire DE4 2BL
Itinerary :- Arrive Fri 27th June to set up. Book in at reception, tell them you're with the TVR Club & they will tell you where to go
.
Last time for meal orders at the Red Lion 8pm. Best to book with them in advance. Opportunity to sample one or two fine cask ales ( or white wine for the ladies ).
Scenic Run-out Sat 28th June. Starting 10:45 am from Barn Farm, 11:00 prompt at the Druid Inn Car Park. Lunch at the Ladybower Inn at 13:15ish.
After lunch, another 30 - 40min drive to complete the run. Evening is free to cook dinner at the campsite ( Yeah right! ) or repair once more to the Red Lion for Snake & Nail Pie & chips or similar, post-run analysis, snail racing & maybe just one more pint.
Again, best to book for your meals in advance.
The Druid Inn just down the road is slightly more upmarket for those who enjoy fine dining. ( I think they serve their black pudding with a sprightly ( dunno what that is , I typed 'sprig' but it sounds posh! ) of mint instead of a big dollop of mustard ) But we've never made it that far yet.
Sun 29th June: Pack up & bid fond farewells to the lovely people whose company you've enjoyed throughout the weekend. Or explore the splendid local countyside a little more. Cromford is fascinating.
A couple of points to mention, please ensure you arrive fuelled up ready for the Sat run, its about 90 miles with scant opportunity to stop for petrol en route.
Do not try to approach Birchover from the south via Birchover Lane, it really is unsuitable for motor vehicles. Continue north on the B5056 for approx 1/2 a mile, turn right, you will see the campsite signposted.
It is at the top end of the village on the right, be careful over the speed bumps.
Please keep the noise down after 10:30pm, definitely NO no.11's along Birchover High Street ( and no number 1's or 2's for that matter !
)
If we behave ourselves, they may just let us do it again next year.
Andy ( Lynch ) has the route ( thanks Andy ) & satnav files ( thanks Han ) which he can email nearer the time to those who request them.
I'm putting a cap on numbers of 25 peeps maximum on the Saturday lunch at the Ladybower as they can't cater for more than that in one fell swoop.
AutoAndy, please could you add this to the Events Wiki, I can't do it on my phone.
Hope you can make it this year, your S must be getting fed up with the flatlands.
Right then, who's coming ?

Hi Glen, thanks for that, sorry I have been away. Yes please, Richard +1 (I haven't reminded her it is camping yet, best spring that at the last moment...as a nice surprise of course
)This year I will not do any work on 'her' (the car I meant! Some people will twist anything
) for at least a week beforehand for fear of breaking anything else. Oh, the plastic metal diff lug repair remains perfectly oil tight
Thanks Tinks, I was just going to bump this thread today, you beat me to it!
Any chance you-ll both be coming along with the new toy?
You could do the run in the Mini, you know you'd be more than welcome.

Hope you all have a great time
