October 2016



As well as our monthly meeting there was a two day trip to Pendle with an overnight stop. I was unable to take part so I will hand over to Roger who kindly wrote the report for the Pendle trip.

On a pleasant autumn morning six cars led by Roger and Sue departed Sizergh Castle towards Kelbrook via a rather unconventional route!  We travelled through Sedbergh to Garsdale Station, over the Coal Road passing Dent Station and dropping down into Cowgill.  A light lunch was taken at the quirky Blind Beck Tearooms at Horton-in-Ribblesdale after which we proceeded to Austwick then over the Trough of Bowland to our destination.An excellent evening was spent at the Old Stone Trough where we celebrated Brenda's Birthday.
On a bright but cool Sunday morning we were joined by four members of the Burnley and Pendle MG Club and led again by Roger and Sue eight cars toured the Pendle Hill areas. A photo opportunity was taken with Alice Witch and after a visit to the Witches Galore Shop in Newchurch-in-Pendle we headed towards the Forest of Bowland taking in stunning scenery and villages.  A great weekend was had by all.Mick had a couple of issues and struggled to start his car a couple of times, we believe he has ordered some new parts !!!
We have just one planned event left on this years calendar which is a mystery run in November…….more of that next month.
From us all at Furness & South Lakes MG have a Very Merry Christmas!
