Peak District Run, part 3. Sunday August 9th

[KEVTVR]

Hi John would be great if you can make it, and Hoover please use the route. The route has been planned to take in some of the best of the Peak District scenery, and allow some quicker !!! driving over the moors. And take us through some of the tourist towns such as Matlock Bath to allow the public to have a good look and photo opportunity. It will be quite slow through Matlock but that is the plan, to re-group before and go through in one long line like a parade lap. And we have our own display parking area in one of the best locations at lunch time.

Nearly there I would say approximately 60 miles. Plenty of petrol stations on route but I would have plenty in before starting the run.

[KEVTVR]

Start at 10:30, arrive at Buxton for lunch about 12. Leave Buxton about 1:30 then we should be at the finish point at Monsal Head at about 3pm where most stayed last year for a beer and chat.

The good news is the weather is now looking dry all day so hopefully everyone will be there. We have had interest from about 40 people from many different regions so hoping for a really good turn out.
The 911 and Cayman are ok Alan that's no problem and Hoover get that Tiv out ! and looking forward to seeing the Griff Barreti.
Just getting the polish on mine now....

This is just another view from the Monsal Head pub at the finish of the run, and the Monsal beer is very good.....

Its looking dry and warm all day and improving in the afternoon. Just a few notes 1. Regards the finish at the Monsal Head pub, I have been today research..... and the main big public carpark as usual was full. Please drive through this and into the overspill carpark at the back. This was completely empty and great views.
2. Try not to miss the re-group point just before Matlock bath. Its a left turm towards New Bath Hotel, the hotel is closed and ideal to use the big carpark to re- group.
Thanks
