December

Not a lot to report as December has been a quiet month for the club. Fortunately we were able to hold our final meeting of the year before the area was flooded as a result of Storm Desmond. The meeting was well attended and we spent time finalising events for 2016, details can be found on the programme page.   

   

                                  "A Merry Christmas and a peaceful & prosperous New year to all."

November run

     Back by popular demand was a visit to Barrow's Dock Museum. Given that we'd had several weeks of heavy rain and high winds we weren’t very optimistic of having a dry day for the run and even decided to use our “every day” cars if necessary. But on  Sunday the 22nd November eight cars met under blue skies at Booths Car Park Ulverston. We used the same route as last year via Bardsea, on to Birkrigg Common then through Scales and Stainton arriving at Furness Abbey. After a quick stop we headed to the Dock Museum for coffee. Unfortunately there was a vintage fayre being held in the museum so there was not only a shortage of parking places but a shortage of toasted tea cakes!!  Suitably refreshed we set off for a tour of Walney Island before arriving at The Clarks Hotel, Rampside for lunch.

     So that was 2015…….bring on 2016! Have a great year everyone.

Langdales run

      Our monthly meeting was held as usual and was well attended.

       On Sunday 18th seven cars met at the Lakeland Motor Museum for refreshments before embarking on a short run into the South Western Lake District. We took the quieter route along the west of Windermere to Hawkshead, Coniston then on to Little Langdale. Here Colin went ahead to photograph us all winding our way up Wrynose Pass. Then it was down into the Duddon Valley to Seathwaite for lunch at the Newfield Inn. After lunch we continued down the valley over the Hoses to Broughton Mills, on to Torver and Greenodd where we parted company. Another very enjoyable day out.
