Bakewell Easter Weekend 17th – 22nd April Rally


Arrived on Thursday and set up in the sunshine.

Friday was a free and easy day with a walk into Bakewell for us. The evening was a bit too chilli to go to the social tent, so, chilled in the caravan with the dogs. 


Saturday, we enjoyed Hot cross buns and apple pie in the social tent and then walked part of the Monsal Trail to the old railway station, and down into Bakewell to burn off the calories. The evening was fun packed, starting with Lisa’s home-made scones, followed by a music quiz and backward raffle. Well done to Chris and Mel for winning the quiz.


Sunday began with an easter egg hunt for the children, which went down very well. We then walked into Bakewell and after a bit of shopping stopped off at the Peacock for a pint in the sunshine. The evening was again fun packed with the easter bonnet competition, the ballon raffle and ‘play your cards right’ game, topped off with cake and cheesecake provided by Slug.

Monday was a ‘Great British Weather’ day with rain until late afternoon, but we still managed to get our steps in. A few members had to head off home today, but the rest of us had a relaxing evening.


Tuesday was a quick walk before packing up and heading off home. There was only one hiccup, which required a stuck camper being pulled off. All good fun and never a dull moment with the 4Cs.



Thanks to the committee for marshalling.

Darley Moor Motor Cycle Race Club September 26th - 29th

  We arrived Thursday and received a warm welcome from MC and W who then showed us where to go. It was raining so lucky for us the ground was level so we were able to reverse in and get the van level both ways the first time. I then sat and had a catchup with W and S while PR went out in the car to fetch ours and other members water. Thursday night was cold and wet so we all relaxed in our own vans. Friday the weather was a lot better and we were able to sit out with the other members and have a chat and a good catch up. The club's tea urn had broken so W made drinks and bacon sandwiches for some of the members using his outdoor kitchen. Friday night we all went into the party tent where we had a few games of cards ( Sticky thirteen ) that SP organised, which was very amusing. Saturday some of the members went into Ashbourne for a few hours, we went to a nearby garden center and others went for a walk upto the race track to watch the cycle racing. Saturday night we all gathered in ...

  What a lovely weekend at Lyndon Top we arrived on Thursday afternoon and the sun was shining, we had heavy rain Thursday evening, but we woke up to sunshine again on Friday, unfortunately we woke to rain on Saturday but it soon cleared up and the sun shone again until we left Sunday afternoon. We had eleven vans in attendance which for saying this was a last minute replacement for the golden cup was fantastic. Thursday afternoon and evening was free and easy, getting set up and catching up with everyone.  Friday was another free and easy day, we went for a walk around the site which had some stunning views overlooking the lake and then in the evening some of us met up in the party tent for a good chat, lots of laughs and a few games of sticky thirteen.                                                                ...
