First big trip

[JohnC35]

So I haved booked in for a mucky weekend in Buxton, and the Chim is the chosen carriage, despite the weather.

Roof has been Renovo'd, 200 ish miles under my belt and no issues, so tool kit in the boot and off we go tonight, will post up some pics if it stays dry enough!

Go for it - given the weather forecast you will certainly find out whether your roof leaks or not.

Have a great time.

Well drove up last night in rain and wind I wouldnt want to have bought the tin top too, and not a single leak!

Ran a dream, little hit of shunting but other than that spot on.

Will be trundling around varios bits of derbyshird today.

Winnats pass is nice if it's not too wet

[JohnC35]

Agreed, it is awful weather right now but is due to brighten a bit, maybe look around Buxton then drive Snake pass with some lunch at Ladybower resevoir.

Tomorrow supposed to be clear skies, so roof off!

Will look out for you tomorrow, I will be in the Red Chimaera. I live in Buxton......some lovely roads around the Peak District.

Ladybower is nice, but is a little way from Buxton. However the drive along the Cat & Fiddle run from Buxton to Macclesfield is well worth a run, as is a trip out to Bakewell and Matlock Bath.

We stayed at Moorside Grange Hotel and Health Spa, situated on the edge of the Peak District, I went there before to the Chim fest so thought I would take the misses for a bit of Nooki .

It`s only a drive in to Buxton and great roads .
