You'd have loved it today Sean,we had a good few foot down moments .

And one on the brake pedal when a sheep dog tried to herd us. Stupid mutt

Oh yeh that was a little surprise,if Sara hadn't spotted it I'd have splattered it.
Saw you braking hard but didn't see the poochy till you dodged past it .
It has two less lives now.

Looks like you had a great day out, happy that the weather was nice for you all. It certainly felt a bit like spring today. Great pictures from all of you.

Of course Dave,looks like sh-t to me but????
You avoided the farm then?

Great pics chaps! Will hopefully join you next time I left Bakewell around 4pm and it rained the whole way home!

 

[Mint]

You avoided the farm then?

Yes we did Brian, but if you join us on one of our trips I can make an exception and take you that way...... if you insist

We were at Carsington by then, managed to get home still with the top down...bit of drizzle nothing serious

Lucky you! I got a bit damp finding somewhere to pull over to put the roof up

 

[Bozzy]

We had no rain at all,but we did wuss out and had the roof up from Carsington to home as the sky did look rather threatening by then . Then a few miles from home,full sunshine .

Yes we've been caught out like that once or twice.
Not too bad if you don't have the tonneau cover on,but a real drama if you have .

Looks like a great day the weather turned out better than forecast here.
Great pics as always

Another great day out in the Peaks with superb weather and company. We met up with Mr & Mrs @Bozzy in Uttoxeter and after a leisurely coffee and chat headed off into the Peak District via Ilam, Warslow, Flash eventually finding our way to Longnor for lunch. After a welcome break we headed off towards Millers Dale and back down to Bakewell to finish at Carsington Water for our goodbyes. A few pics of the day:

Great photos chaps, pity we missed it. I was out that way on my bike and was surprised what a warm sunny day it was as the last forecast I saw on Saturday was rain most of the day.

Cheers Ant, yes much better than forecast, we were expecting a cloudy day but we actually go quite a lot of sun

 

[Mint]

It's a hard job Brian, but you know, someones's got to do it

We passed quite a few cyclists and scramblers enjoying the sunshine. Yes, a great day
