July 2016

I was on holiday for the first 2 weeks in July so much of this report is using second hand information. July started with the Leighton Hall classic car show. The club was well represented, the weather was fair and a good time was had by all. Our monthly meeting was held on the 9th. The turnout was quite low due to it being the holiday period. There was a fundraising event held at High Newton on the 9th and club members Martin and Brenda. who are also residence, invited the club to line up some of our cars behind the club banner. It was a very successful event and despite the heavy rain over two thousand pounds was raised to go towards the repair of the village hall roof. On the 26th we repeated one of our favourite runs over the North Pennines to Middleton in Teesdale. Eight cars left Sizergh      towards Sedgwick our destination being Farfield Mill at Sedbergh. After our coffee break we took the A684 to Garsdale Head then drove north to Brough. The B6275 then guided through some beautiful scenery onto Middleton in Teasdale. A few miles further on we arrived at The Strathmore Arms at Holwick for lunch. After lunch it was on to Alston then the steep descent of Hartside. We joined the A6 at Penrith which took us back to Kendal and home. It was a very long day but nevertheless a very enjoyable one!   Sue
