Well....an eventful weekend was had by all who attended - Lisa and Stuart ventured out in their MGB Roadster, Simon and Claire took the Stag - the roof now fits - and Mark and Cath (excuse me if its spelt wrong) took the shiny Spit. All was going well on Saturday morning until the MG started burning oil, but we soildered on and had a really enjoyable day in Matlock Bath, visiting the aquarium and having a wander about before having fish and chips for lunch.
The MG smoked all the way back to the campsite, and as is usual woth Stuart's cars, it ended up with the bonnet up. Claire enjoyed cutting out gaskets and took bets with Lisa as to how many people could stand around a car at one time!
The evening entertainment took the form of Top Gear, and TSSC Lancashire won the quiz - the prize will be donated to the Christmas raffle, don't hold your breath in excitement!
On Sunday morning we all set off for the Peak Run, Stuart and Simon decided to retire before even starting, the MG still wasn't well, and neither was Claire...so off we went back to camp, leaving Mark to complete the run, a 70 mile round trip ending up at Carsington Water.
Back at camp, Stuart, Lisa, Simon and Claire enjoyed afternoon tea in the sunshine waiting for the AA man to come to the rescue of the MG...low and behold what should we see being pushed back? Yes, Marks Spitfire! Snapped fan belt and not a pair of tights to be had to do a temporary repair, so the AA were called again!
All in all, despite the poorly cars, it was a fantastic weekend and who knows, next year all 3 cars might start and finish the run!
