Lunch stop Pavillion cafe Buxton.
If you want to you can give them a ring and pre order your meal, this will save a lot of time on the day. You will find the information and menu here. We have seating reserved for about 40. Tell them you are with the TVR Car club that is already booked in for Sunday the 9th, and will be arriving at approximately 12:15.
( I would definitely recommend this for glen who is always half way through his meal as we are all leaving )

Hi Steve, going in through the main public carpark. Past the swimming pool and onto the pedestrian area for our own private parking. You can just see the public carpark on this photo top left hand side

Can all drivers also print a copy of this please....The small print
This is not a timed event, not a convoy, but a guided route.
You are responsible for your own driving standards and should drive in a manner that falls within the law and your own capabilities.
1. If in a group of cars signal early for turnings, pass the signal back.
2. Watch out for the car behind you. Make sure the person following you sees you make the turn
3. Allow suitable distance between you and the car in front of you. This will prove its value approaching the many blind bends in the Peak District, and as you make judgements whether to stop or proceed through amber lights. Remember amber means STOP if you have time to stop safely.
4. Use your best judgement when approaching long green or amber lights. Don't be concerned about delaying those behind you by conservatively judging the light. Judge it as you would if you were travelling independently of the group.
5. If at the front of the group or setting the pace, then bear in mind the "whip effect" even when you are doing a legal speed limit at the front, cars may need to do considerably more to catch up the tail of the convoy. If they have been briefly delayed at roundabouts etc.
6. If a non-convoy driver wants to cut in, let them. In fact make it easy for them. There will be plenty of time to re-group at our designated re-group points and rest stops. Share the road.
7. If we need to pass a car or cars, it should be done one convoy car at a time, don't all move out to pass at the same time. Pass as an individual not a group. Again remember those many blind bends.
8. Use common sense. Drive as though you are an individual following a planned route and map, rather than the participant of a group. Please take a few minutes to study our route maps before the trip and locate the roads on your map or atlas.
9. Your safety and safe operation of your vehicle is your responsibility alone and the run organiser assumes no responsibility for anything other than making arrangements for the event.
10. Not all these things are mandatory , necessary or even practical but use them where appropriate this will help to keep the run safe, fun and responsible.
11. Above all else " KEEP IT ON THE BLACK STUFF"

The Peak District has some of the countries worst driving standards. On nearly every journey I will see someone overtaking over double white lines far too close to an unsighted situation like a sharp bend. Sends a shiver down my spine ie if I was coming the other way at pace... I now no longer take the 'racing' line when out for a drive but stay close to the edge giving me a better chance of missing cars on the wrong side of the road. On two occasions this has served me well. So be careful.
so roll me further bh said:
h said: I have spoken to the pavilion restaurant a couple of times now, christ they are useless. They want us to get a full list of everybody's meals and ring them a couple of days before with the complete order. They will not let me give them a individual order.
A friend owns the Hassop Station cafe if you would like a better setting and better food...On the food side of things don't worry about that we can just arrive and order on the day. The lunch menu is full of a variety of delicious, local and freshly prepared meals. Also there is the Cafe bar and last year food stands outside, just go in early after you have parked up. You will not get a much better setting to display the cars than the Pavillion Gardens, and they can accommodate the amount of cars expected to arrive and in our own private area. This is not a public car park and we have secured special permission to display the cars here.
