Not something you see every day, is it?

Great run, as ever, Pat...well done. Really enjoyed the weekend. Tried playing the newly invented game of "10 pin biker" on the way back down, but the bikers down this way must move quicker

Thanks Pat for a top day out and an excellent run!! Great to see faces old and new too

The CLK made it home despite being a tad poorly, I still blame the northern fuel

Thanks again Pat, looking forward to the next one

turns out the MX5 club calling card was left by someone on a MX-5 run who were parked up in the wensleydale creamery car park across the road from where we were. They'd come south from scotch corner via Tan Hill where it was snowing so think yourselves lucky i didn't drag you all up there!

I saw a 'lotus run' on the way home.... a convoy of 5 Elises whistling through the countryside - those things go round corners well

Hi Hat

Thanks for your message on Lancs Mini Adventure, yes it was a great day out, we got 17 Mini's in all, barring 1 wrong turning I think everything went smoothy.

I wasn't allowed to get any air this time round

So we went sideways a bit, instead
