    Dunno what sort of person you think I am - pies?? I think not! Oh, and no singlet either. But I'm sure I won't be crowded at the bar

    Did the run last night in the Hawk, Highly Enjoyable!!! On Gordons post, mileage: 23.8, think it should read: Crowdecote, also where interesting hill is mentioned in the last bit of notes there is a very large pot hole going back up Mam Nick/ Back Tor ( whatever its called!) on the left of the road, even a 205/55 would struggle!
    And like Gordon mentioned, the Chevrons really aren't bluffing, especially on one of the down hill twisty Armco lined bits, = massive fun.

    Re: Informal Days Out

    Looks like a great route. I remember (well not too well !) some of those roads from my student days at Sheffield many years ago when I used to navigate a Mk 1 Cortina. Wish I lived a bit closer as I'd enjoy driving it with you. Any way I'm sure you'll have a great time on Sunday - all the best !
