I actualy ran the peak district run twice yearly for a while, its quite ironic that you have numbered the names list only to 7 because no matter how hard I tried 7 was the most people I ever managed to get on one run but it was usually 6 :cry:
due to conditions currently in motor manufacturing I am without a MK1 at the moment, so unless I do some serious training so that I can run behind I'll have to sit this one out
Peak District is well worth making the effort for if anyone is unsure, go on give it a try!! :+:

[mk1 dal]

hi kev no problem , i have 5 mk1s ,you can borrow one for the the run if you want as i cant drive them all .

[mk1 dal]

hi all , the routes have now all been maped and i have test run them again at the weekend, i also found a new road i havent been on before which was oustanding full of twists and turns and i didnt see another car for 10 miles on it :D , i have chosen over 150 miles of routes, outstanding veiws to show the best of the peaks ,and roads the mk1 where made for , i have planed this for 12 months and done over 1500 miles sorting the best routes out so hopefully it will be a great day out . any other mk1 owners wanting to atttend the run please let me know by thursday has i need the approx number of maps to have printed off.

this run will blow the winter cob webs off your mk1 , has tom said ( it would be rude not to ) :+:

lets have a good turn out

gary :+: :+: :+:

[tommundy]

Excellent job in organising this Gary!

Let's hope the weather is as glorious as it was the weekend just gone. 8-)

Going to be an early morning to come from York but I might treat myself and come down through Holmfirth. Even if I don't I'll still be doing the Woodheads pass.

Just ignore my unhealthy relationship with the fuel pumps everyone. :lol:

See you all bright and early Sunday.

Cheers,
Tom

PS: This is a bit more civilised than the run I was on the Sunday just gone. I'd done 140 miles, had a full English breakfast and was back home for 8:20am!

[mistertwokw]

sorry folks but i will miss this one, i'm still getting mine all back together again, have fun....i'm not jealous at all!!

Ki

[mk1 dal]

hi ki ,thats a shame you cant make it mate , but i know your busy with the rebuild and still after engine parts , looking forward to seeing the finnished car at tatton ,going off your car last year i am expecting to see a mint example :clap:.

gary :+:

[mk1 dal]

hi tom :+: , the weather is going to be sunny and 17 degrees on sunday in the peeks :D :D :D , so the met office say , so if they are right it will be a brilliant , has to fuel stops ,my supercharger went through some fuel on the lakes run ,alot more the n/a , but i can do this run on 1 full tank , what are you getting to the gallon so i can add a extra fuel stop in just in case .

gary :+:

[old petrolhead]

I am going to a track day at Castle Combe on Saturday 24th. Provided I do not wreck my car I will try to attend on Sunday. I went on this run about 3 years ago & it was great.

All being well I will see you there. :+:

[tommundy]

I shouldnt get much less mpg than your supercharger tbh Gary. I'll be filling up at the start point anyway, and if needs be can top up at the lunch stop.

Looks like it's going to be a good turn-out and stunning weather! 8-)

See you all Sunday morn.

Sorry - can no longer come. I mixed my days up with when i am going to see my friend who is going thru a divorce. i thought i was going there today and the run tomorrow.
i realise now they are both the same day - Doh!
i really want to go and show her some support. hope you all understand. have a great time. i want to learn the trick of being in 2 places at once!
was looking forward to giving the track car a blast, since the other week picking it up fron Gary. the roads round there are ace! i was chasing our vx back home.

[tommundy]

Just looked and the post code is SK10 2AB, NOT SK10 2BA.

See you all in the morning!

[lukemk1]

im not going to be able to make it due to funds :( ive been looking forward to his for ages aswell :( i hope you all have a good time tho , try and get some pics :+:

cheers luke

[tommundy]

Coffee, coffee, coffee!

:D

[tommundy]

Well, I'm back at York after leaving home more than 13 hours ago!

What a great day; the scenery, cars, people and of course the roads!

A big thanks to Gary for organising such a spectacular route and doing it all from memory, top class. :+: :clap:

I'll see what my video footage came out like and post my pictures up in the next few days. Hopefully there will be some time next time to take people out in my car for passenger rides with it at full boost. :twisted:

I had a good drive home down some roads that I'll be telling Gary about, along the same sort of lines as to what we'd been doing all day.

Off for a shower now because the wife says I stink of petrol and oil, hehehehe. :lol:

Have a nice evening everyone and hope you all get back safely.

Cheers,
Tom

[mk1 dal]

hi tom , thanks mate glad you enjoyed it ,phil said we clocked 174 miles from start to finnish , the golden retriever was a star ( he lay in the middle off the road sun bathing and never moved for any of us :lol: ) did any one get a picture of him ,lovely looking dog .then there was the inquisitive chicken going through edale who stopped me ,the little sod only moved after a good blast on the horn :lol: , i did forget a jump on one road and went air -bourne :oops: looked in my mirrors and saw Matthew (Boyzdad) flying through the air ( 10 out of 10 for landing ) brilliant :lol: . i had a great day and was pleasure to show mk1 club owners the true drivers roads of the peaks any very happy with the turn out :clap: ,bill and others who attened are wanting to do the run again later in the year i am up for it :D .

gary

[Stuart Cameron]

There were some curious animal mishaps along the way. From the golden retreiver with a serious attitude problem, Gary's chicken showdown, and of the course the lesser spotted Mk1 headbutting sheep. Anyhoo, over 250 miles door to door and well worth it.

A great run Gary, well done and thanks.

[Boyzdad]

Thanks Gary for a top day out :) Jack and I really enjoyed it, by the time we got back to Coventry we had done approx 350miles for the day :)

The flying jump was good fun! Would love to have another run out......when my back recovers! ;)

Lots of sideways action on the hair-pins and great fun with the lazy dog in the road and the car "head-butting" sheep ;)

I know Jack has taken lots of Pics and a few Vids, so I guess watch this space!




Off for a shower now because the wife says I stink of petrol and oil, hehehehe. :lol:



Funny, that's what my wife said to me and Jack, I tried to convince her is was a proper "MAN'S" smell, but she was not impressed ;) To be honest, I am not surprised we stank so much, we spent most of the drive with the windows down and keeping the revs up :)

I must say I have great respect for "fearless" Fred (and Doris!), he really kept the pedal to the metal, especially the brake pedal when that tractor pulled out in front of him!

Thanks again to Gary, and everyone! :)

[mk1 dal]

hi lads, cant wait to see the pics , i didn't take any due to my camera not working , tom filmed the whole route so he will have some great action ,especially has he was behind matt on the second leg of run ,has he was sideways on most of the bad corners :D :clap: .

gary :+:

[Boyzdad]

as he was sideways on most of the bad corners :D :clap: .



Really? I can't remember that! :think: Must have been Jack's fault, distracting me :angel:

[tommundy]

tom filmed the whole route so he will have some great action
Ran out of battery power by the lunch stop unfortunately. Still got 3 hours worth mind you! The tunnel part sounds good. :+:

[bill hulme]

:clap: Well done Gary, this must be among the best run ever, :clap: :clap: :clap:
I can't wait to do it again, All your time and effort was much appreciated, to do 1500
mile to set a route out must have taken hour and a lot of petrol,
a couple of snaps, for you.
A big thanks for a magnificent day out. Bill.

Hello,
What a really great day out :+: , I was very happy to see that there were many other Mr2's on the run and they all looked fantastic. The run also went on for much longer than I expected which was brilliant :clap: , as the route itself covered many different types of roads and areas. I did indeed take alot of pictures so here they are (if you want the image in full size view please PM me and send me the link of the image and I will happily send the image you want :)):
Please note these are not in order but all my favourite ones are here:
Also see if you can spot the dog!
