September started with our club meeting. Deposits were paid by members going to
Ireland next May.
Our club run was a
short one, the destination being the creamery at Hawes. Five cars were lead by
Jim & Maz along the A65 towards Ingleton where we would turn left and join
the B6255 through the Ribble Valley then on to Hawes. It was all going really well until we found
ourselves mingling with hundreds of cyclists doing the 3 Peaks Challenge …….and
it had started to pour down. We picked our way through drenched cyclists,
support cars, and spectators as far as as the
Ribblehead Viaduct where they all went “off road” which left us to enjoy
the rest of the journey unhindered……..and the rain stopped!!! After coffee we couldn’t leave without first sampling all the
delicious cheeses on offer. We left Hawes taking the A684 towards Sedbergh turning right at Garsdale Head to
Nateby, then to The Kings Head at Ravenstonedale for lunch. We returned home
via Tebay and the A685 parting company at Kendal. Another “Grand Day Out”.
