Well if the above are going best put me in the running. Sorry on the list

i shall add you all to the list. I will update details nearer to day.

Put me down

Dear all

I checked the route yesterday and all seems great. I have factored out narrow lanes and potential alloy rash hot spots, there is one area that may be tight for 2 cars to pass but at the time we are there all should be ok,

The route should take approx 1.5 to 2 hours to do taking in a few beauty spots and a nice drive in the Derbyshire Hills

I am checking times over the next few days (getting the modified nationals and Easter holidays out of the way) and should have more of a break down on what we shall be doing.

Please all I have arranged for a warm drink and a bacon butty to be supplied at the meeting point this will be approx £5 per head. Hope this is ok with all

I will be looking at restaurants on the route (details to follow and I have reserved a table at Vines Restaurant at Chatsworth Garden centre where we can have a drink. However we may have to pay £3 parking charge as I think the centre car park will be full when we arrive at approx 3pm


More details to follow

Actually and I'm gonna embarrass Neil here because he's that kind of guy who really would sort the food and pop, if I needed him to.
Tbh if the boot was on the other foot, I would too. Awwh.

No embarrassment Mick that’s what you do for true lifelong Mates and I’m proud to count you as one! Through this forum and the love of our RCZ’s we have made some truly great friends and been to places we would never have been or driven. Who would have thought just by buying a car would change our lives so much more for the better

That's a lovely statement, thanks and true.

It's s good club to be in......
