DERBYSHIRE HEATHER DAY no. 3

DERBYSHIRE HEATHER DAY no.3
:thumb2 Date to be set later:thumb2
HI
I am planning a day out to view the heather in bloom

Heather blooms August/ September . I tend to avoid summer routes as they can very overgrown and scratchy.
Also people tend to be out with families walking and so on.
:clap:clap:clapThis could possibly be the itinerary :clap:clap:clap
EASY MORNINGS LANING THEN A LIGHT SNACK AND COMFORT STOP AT EYAM AND A FEW MORE LANES AND THEN MAYBE A BBQ. ON THE MOORS.
MAYBE AN EVENING DRIVE AS WELL (TEST YOUR ROOF LIGHTS OUT )
WATCH THE SUN GO DOWN FROM HOUNDKIRK MOORE.
The lanes wont be pre driven so may have to make some changes on the day.
But will be checked against closures ect.

SO BRING THE KIDS ALONG
AND MAKE A FAMILY DAY OUT OF IT.
SOME NOVICES WELCOME DEPENDING ON NO OF GROUPS.
OR EVEN A WEEKEND AS THERE ARE CARAVAN SITES NEAR BY.

PLEASE PUT YOUR NAMES DOWN IF INTERESTED.

only weekend i cant do is the bank holiday weekend as we are away camping.
give sheila our best wishes.
not sure which motor i will be running was hoping to get the tdi back on the road as its not as thirsty as the petrol.

 

[Terranosaurus]

I'll see what i can do, all hinges on when i see Amy and what date etc. But at worst I should be able to come down for the evening run and a few tinnies at the camp over etc

hi gang .
it would be nice if we could get together over a weekend .
Post up if you think you may be coming so it gives some idea of camp site needs.
There is a lot to see in the area so even if you dont want to go laning there is plenty to do.
your thoughts and ideas welcome.
ALSO INCLUDE ANY DATES YOU ARE AVAILABLE .

not essential but its good to keep in touch and it adds to the fun.

 

[stevecrm]

Good to meet you too and thanks for the steps

no CB yet but i know a shop selling some second hand ones I have had my eye on one for a while, I will get one in the near future :thumb2

 

[briggie]

[briggie]
