Another view of the Winnats pass, part of this run....

[Barreti]

Fancy doing a roll call Kev?

I'm booked in for lunch and have pre-ordered the obligatory Fish and Chips.
Shiny new MOT ready so I'm set for a day of polishing on Saturday so my Griff doesn't let the side down.
Maps are all printed.
Mrs B booked in as Navigator, so I'll google street view the route to make sure we don't get lost

Has someone booked some sunshine?

[AlanQ]

Looks like a great route, I should be along in a Mk1 Tusc Will probably have a couple of interlopers in tow (911 & a Cayman) if thats OK? so we'll keep at the back!

[Hoover.]

I know I said would "borrow" the route for latter in the week when I'm up that way.... seriously thinking about coming up for the run in the Tiv and then coming home for the Jeep.....

all dependant on me putting new springs on the jeep on Saturday though

View from the Castleton side. The caverns are just out of shot on the left - pretty good tbh.

[KEVTVR]

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....

[KEVTVR]

That's great news Jayne that you will be joining us, always room for another lovely Tuscan...

[KEVTVR]

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

[so roll me further bitch]

Is the sunshine on order for tomorrow

[KEVTVR]

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

Just been out for a blast along some of the roads you will be on tomorrow. Bakewell was flowing nicely. Managed to hit 50mph at one point between Matlock and home. Going to get a cattle prod fitted to the front of my cerb.
