Drive into the Peak District for any car make and condition.
Discussion
Hi all,
Im organising a run out into the spectacular countryside surrounding sheffield/matlock (Peak District).
I organised one a few months ago and got a great turn out of 14 Classic Minis, and a great day of driving.
This one is a little different as I have opened it up to all makes and models regardless of make, cost or condition. While I enjoyed the all classic mini drive I think it would be great to have some variety and hopefully some really unusual cars turn up and see just what is hiding in garages and under covers in the area.
As I appreciate that some owners may want to convoy together with all the others of the same make, may I make the suggestion that all the minis drive together, followed by all the fords, followed by all the Fiats, followed by....... etc etc.
I have started a small, informal, and of cause free club in the area. Its based on Facebook and is all about appreciating the great driving roads in the area no matter what you drive, and seeing all the weird and wonderful cars hiding away. Its purely for organising these drives out and not intended for chat, sales, technical questions or spam (pistonheads and other such forums are best for this), just for me to get word out about runs and see who is interested. (and yes it has a cheesy name) This is the link to it: https://www.facebook.com/groups/766736203336662/
Run Details:
Run starts at the layby next to the Moorlands Pub in sheffield at 11:30, I will be getting there at 11:00. This is on the 31/5/14. We will drive out towards Matlock, then up to Bakewell and onto monsle head for a brief loo break. We then drive towards Casteleton via Cressbrook, we then go round to Edale and onto a petrol station on Bamford to top up and re group. We then will drive the final 10 or so miles to our end location, a pub in ringinglow village, sheffield.
All cars welcome. Print out the attached file for rout, cant stress how helpful this will be to you. Also remember to fill up before coming as the petrol stop is right at the end of the run and the run is around 70 miles.
We did hit a few small issues last time, firstly confusion over dates and routs, below is a rout and the date is to be 11:30am on the 31/5/14. Print the document with the rout!
The main niggle we had was people getting lost, I will attempt to stop more often which should help. I have attached the rout to this posting, last time I only saw one person with the rout printed out, having a copy is so important to guide you if you get separated. Last time one guy I gave my copy to managed the mid 15 miles alone after a wrong turn and caught us up just after half way purely from following it.
Hopefully this will help it run smoothly.
