Glad it didn't pour down on you! You'll be pleased to hear us southerners had all the rain today! :lol:

Well done again Andy! :hurray:

No surprise there then!

it is def the last time i try to be clever with multi-map thinking i can make things easier when all i did was make it harder for myself to guide everyone through the route...should have stuck to the way i intended to when i did dry run a few weeks back....was a good day and we were lucky with the weather as paul says we all had our roofs down...except mike...even got a bit of sun at one point...all in all 115 ish miles covered...(prob should have been 95 but hey ho...)

now for pics


squires meet


the large puddle we encountered


some other idiots were also braving the cold



the trees were a welcome rest stop






finally at mother shiptons the river gave a nice audio back drop


the petrifying well....(didnt scare me)


mother shipton was looking surprisingly good given her age


kev?...your supposed to put money INTO the wishing well!

Did you notice the old guy with the yellow coat who was out walking saying to Steve - "Why has that blue car got a hard top on..?"

Yup - fab run.

Looking forward to the next one on 6 December now................................

well finally got the pics uploaded, so here we go.......


left home about 8am, roof down, arrived at squires just on 10 roof still down
retreated in doors for a cup of coffee and a hot sandwich.......resisted the full breakfast (unlike some!)
then proceeded to have a lovely tour of the area by andy, who was such a good guide he even backtracked a couple times in case anyone missed something the first time round :rofl:
finally arrived at mother stiltons cave, had a pleasant walk about then back to the cars for a cuppa at dawn and janes mobile coffee shop.
then off home a round trip of 315 miles for us and the only rain we saw was in the last 30mile towards home

was nice to meet up again with some familiar faces and great to get to know some new ones

many many thanks to andy for the great day

heres some more pics of the same things.....
