Another year, another great trip

It is the time of year again that a few of us head out to Normandy for a mini road trip. This year we decided to have a change and stick to the UK and after the last few days, boy was that a good idea!

Thursday was spent heading north through the Peak District via Hope Valley and Snake Pass before all meeting up near Blackburn for dinner and a drink or 2 :wink: Friday we headed into the Forest of Bowland and then the Dales lead by Mr Wilks in his 911, followed by 4 MRs and a 35is

Another great night followed after we were joined by Darren Slone and his MRC. After meeting Marlon in his 911 Saturday morning we headed out again into Bowland and the Dales and paid a visit to Tan Inn, the highest pub in the England

Sunday Morning was not quite so exciting with a long drive down the M6/M1 however, I can't stress enough, how enjoyable the trip was. I didn't realise how great the roads in Lancashire and Yorkshire were to drive, some real gems just a few hours away and that combined with great company makes for another trip to remember for a long time.

A few of my pictures below and Im sure the lads will add some more. :driving: :thumbsup:

Great selection of pics Paul ,
We have had some fantastic times in France but id have to agree on the Ribble Valley , Bowland Feels & Yorkshire dales being pretty special
I'm out there most weekends but having a train of Zs behind ( + Marlon's 911 :oops: ) really made this weekend one for the memory bank in many different ways .
We've driven hard , eaten a lot , laughed more than a lot (thanks D Slone ) & drunk maybe a little too much ( thanks D Slone) :oops:
Heading home alone this morning felt strange not seeing E11 PJM in my mirror :P
 
Can’t really add much more to what’s already been said, fabulous few days and epic driving, amazing roads that put us and our cars through their paces, with some tip top friends, one of the things that’s maybe overlooked when joining a forum, plenty of laughs and one or two drinks along the way!

Ed looks about 70 in that pic :lol:

The pic looks like it was taken in the 70s as well :lol:

Can only echo the above comments.

Great roads to drive if you fancy a road trip :thumbsup:
