Delightful Derbyshire

On Saturday 13th ( yes, I'm still running 3 days behind!) the Tossers had a rideout through Derbyshire's Peak District. After an initial briefing in Lumb Farm's carpark 50 odd bikes set off through some narrow but scenic roads over the peaks. The open countryside gave spectacular views when you could take your eyes off the tight and twisty roads. Wandering sheep and highland cattle added to the excitement! Being dropped off as a marker enabled me to take a few photos of the following bikes . Unfortunately early in the afternoon a group of about half a dozen of us lost the rest. We took a turn up and over the famous Cat & Fiddle run and stopped off for a cold drink at the pub on the top, whose clientèle seemed to be solely bikers, before heading for home. Another splendid evening followed although I was somewhat the worse for wear the next morning! On Sunday PW, LB and I followed the main roads through the Welsh Marches to get home by mid afternoon. All in all a very enjoyable weekend, they're a great bunch of people, the riding was good fun and food and facilities were excellent. Roll on the next UKGSer meet!
