What a glorious cold but clear morning!
Despite the 11 vehicle crash in the area on the M6 I need to get out in the car and have a tootle around !
Sun should be hitting the roads now and clearing the frost a bit and the fog should have cleared, so will head up probably through the Trough into
Bentham and north either head for Hawes or if not too cold Hawkshead Cafe. Plenty of nice stopping places to take pictures.
To me these cars are not always about speed.

What frost? Thinking of taking the missus out this afternoon for a bit of a run - might pass you somewhere in the same areas, although I don't
think we'll go quite as far as hawkshead. Have a good, safe run Adrian.

Lucky boys getting out for a drive! Looks like I'm going to the mother in laws up in Cheshire (if I didn't have two kids to ferry I
suppose I could have drove the F27 up there).

Almost! Every time I get somewhere near, I either buy something new like an ECU, or do something stupid like drop the turbo breaking the turbine! Just
plumbing it up now. Get over and add some encouragement!

Well, I went out with the (much) better half today, didn't set off until 1:30, so we went...
Blackpool
Poulton
Great Eccleston
Garstang
Forton
Here jumped on the motorway to get round the Lancaster congestion (no charge, the congestion is always free!)
Caton
Hornby
Ingleton
Clapham
Settle
Where we stopped and feasted on a mars bar. (Each!) Nice red ferrari 512 parking up when we did. (Probably an MR2 underneath!!).
Then heading for home directly into the setting sun - had to guess where the road was a couple of times!
Via A682 and A59
Passing through
Gisburn
Clitheroe
Preston
Kirkham
Lovely weather, not a cloud to be seen - but pretty cold the last 20 mins as the sun had gone down.
All in all, a very nice afternoon out....... 110 miles.

I can vouch for fog around Penrith, so I guess it was north from there.
The last two pictures are from Hartshead Cafe looking out towards Penrith and the north.
Headed back down the M6 only to be stuck in two hold-ups due to accidents southbound.
Was a good day.
Adrian
Dam must make pictures bit smaller.

Superb pics Adrian - I took my camera, but by the time I got to Settle, it was starting to get dark, so didn't take any.
Never mind - here's one I 'prepared' earlier (july)

In reality, all the proper mugs were dirty in the dishwasher. Although the way Joe held his cup with his little finger sticking out suggested this
wasn't the first time he'd used a cup and saucer!
