West lakes run



   Our first event of July was the Leighton Hall Classic Car Show. Eight cars lined up behind our club banner hoping the showers that were forecast stayed away. They did until 3.30 then the heavens opened.

   We met as usual for our monthly meeting. As it was John B’s birthday Alex supplied a very large and delicious cake which we all tucked into after a rendition of “Happy Birthday”.

   A Sunday drive was planned for the 26th and Colin & Carol once again took us on a tour of West Cumbria. Nine cars met at Broughton in Furness under grey skies. We were taken over Corney Fell before stopping at The Byre in Bootle for coffee. Suitably refreshed we headed north through Ennerdale, passed Loweswater over Honister Pass through Borrowdale and on to Bassenthwaite for lunch at The Castle Inn Hotel. After lunch we returned home by a slightly different route  via Calder Bridge,Eskdale Green over Birker Fell to Ulpha then back to Broughton.
