Peak District Driving Day, Sunday, April 19th and/or 10th May

[NeMFO]

Hiya Guys,
I'm planning a driving day in the peaks and I thought it would be an excellent idea to invite along anyone who's interested.

Whilst I'm open to suggestions from anyone with more local knowledge, I'm thinking we start at 10:30 from the Yeaveley Arms car park (in Yeaveley near Ashbourne, SE side of the Peaks).

Then drive up to Macclesfield via the Cat and Fiddle run (via A515 and A537).

Then up to Glossop for Lunch at the Royal Oak Inn and back down via the A57 and Snake Pass.
Had mis-written as Snakebite Pass, but that just takes me back to my student days, hohoho.

Then back to the Yeaveley Arms, perhaps for a drink and dinner.

Obviously as I'm based SE of the Peaks this is mostly suited to my location, but anyone can still enjoy tagging along for just a single leg with company and the spare leg solo (or at least without me, but with other guys) if it suits.

I'm thinking April Sunday 19th or 26th, with some flexibility regarding which to try and avoid naff weather.

Let me know if you're interested

Interested parties so far are:
Phoenix11
Chris231 ??
AdamGalress ??
GreySilver Beast??
New Duke ??
Chris Holmes (26th only)
ZXninja ??


So something very much like this:

Sounds good, however, does the cat and fiddle now have speed cameras?

I ran one of these a few years ago, it was great. If I'm available I will try my best to come along

Was an enjoyable drive out.



I would be up for this, only top half tho. Meet at macclesfield.

Sure its Snake Pass. Snakebite pass is the Alcoholics route.

Oh yeah, Snakebite Pass takes me back to my student days

I'm sure it does have speed cameras, but if you can take those hairpins at 50, then I want to know what tyres you're using

Depending on when in April Nigel might be able to attend, but otherwise a great idea Will

If you need any assistant then let one of the members of the team know

I'm thinking it makes more sense to lunch at the Royal Oak Inn on the way out of Glossop. That'd make lunch around 1pm.

[New Duke]

That looks like my ideal dream day. It's so damn far away, but will join you for the whole thing if I'm available.

Good idea

Thanks lots

If Nigel can let me know his availability we can try for that weekend.

[GreySilver Beast]

Can do either Sunday 19th April or Sunday 26th April assuming you are choosing a Sunday Will

Sounds good, I shall pencil those dates in.

[ChrisHolmes]

Only 2hrs to the start from home so why the hell not with that route you have plotted.

Cannot make the 19th April as I am in Brighton for the 1/2 marathon, relax I am just supporting Kathy, but 26th is fine. Off to Zanti on the 4th May, its a tough life!

[Zxninja]

Sounds great Will, if I’m free I will come along. Love a drive through the peaks

Brilliant, I'll have to get numbers closer to the time and do a Watsapp group or something

[willberry70]

Second/backup weekend pushed back a week due to clashing with Yakushi.

[ChrisHolmes]

The date change rules me out then. In Brighton on th 19th and RX8OC Committee meeting on the 3rd

[GreySilver Beast]

Afraid it rules me out on both dates too Will

[DaveKimberley]

Sunday 26th was the best date for me.

[DaveKimberley]

Cannot make the 17th

Ok 10th May it is. At this rate I'll do both weekends

Although Annie and I live in Surrey, we visit my parents in Derby (Borrowash) every month or 2.

This sounds good, so we’ll try to fit a visit there around the date of this run. I’ve put this on my diary but probably won’t be able to commit until the week before.
