How far did you travel to get to Chatsworth

[kevin63]

Just wondering who came from where to come to the Chatsworth gathering, I know there were 6-7 from Northern Ireland (who unfortunately I didn't get to meet ) and one said he was coming from the Channel islands, I know that Martin came from Cornwall for both Sat and Sunday and it was great to meet him on both days, some also came from Scotland too, seems all corners of the UK were covered.
All stories welcome like did anything special happen on the way up, or even at the event, Bob and his lady did Rockingham in the morning and Chatsworth in the afternoon.

Leeds, Bradford, Bingley, Halifax...that was just a couple of cars

I spoke to a chap from Guernsey in his Tamora.

I told Stormdog to buy a satnav

[jagdpanther]

Speaking of which...


Kev, what satnav do you own?????



I quite fancy going on a scenic route tour of Derbyshire

It's not what you own, it's what buttons you press.

About 99 miles for me. (Kettering)

And a sat-nav called Dave_M.

337 miles round trip from Swindon. Did well on the way up on mpg but that fell badly following the A6 home. Blooming Sunday drivers!

Cheers Sid

Duncan played his part in the route planning too..

As for distance, Tim in the Green Sagaris has another 100 miles on top getting back up to the scottish boarders...

Great turn out from the North East guys.... many thanks, and many thanks to Kevin for all your hard work. Perfect informal event...

Are the Irish party allowed to include the sea crossing????

I left Matlock so late I claim the prize for most miles weathering the storm

M18 had rivers across it!

484 mile round trip in the Tuscan from Motherwell in Scotland (near Glasgow) and worth every mile! The event was awesome - amazing atmosphere, the friendliest people, and the cars... jaw-dropping!

A few worrying moments with alarms / immobilisers / nearly getting stranded at a petrol station, jammed seatbelts and a broken speedometer but they're comical moments in hindsight since the old girl made it. Only had the car 8 weeks and that's me bonded with it now after Sunday's trip. Bought it off PistonHeads, come to think of it - it's the mk1 Tuscan, turquoise (it's called pathfinder blue, apparently), reg R555SSH with the big speakers on the back shelf. The stereo was working for the trip, thankfully - sometimes it doesn't.

7am, an empty motorway, sun shining (at the start of the journey, anyway), stereo playing 'Muscle Car' by mylo, beautiful scenery and a TVR Tuscan. That's what it's all about. Brilliant day - thanks a lot for my very first TVR event!

Round trip of 300 miles all on A and B roads from Harrow, Middx. Great day out but I was ready for bed by about 8pm on Sunday. Tried listening to the radio for a bit but preferred the sound of the engine and the wind.
