Out solo today, so no planned route just headed North. No stops for coffee and cake just a top down drive out for the pure pleasure of the drive in glorious sunshine. Can't beat The Peaks in the sun.

Well done Dave, ditto although left a bit later and headed South ! No photos, the Yonderman had limited cakes left but the Lemon Drizzle cake was excellent!
Driving towards home along Strines as dusk approached with the roof down can be recommended !
Although. Has anyone turned on to Strines from the Ladybower side lately. There's new kerbing on the left hand side. Looks quite nice but it sits really proud. Then you realise there's not much tarmac left on the other side of the road for cars coming towards you. I think someone is going to scratch an alloy if you have a big 'un coming the other way . . .

Up in the frozen North today for 3.5hrsLucky bugger, I was putting new pads and discs on the daugters Corsa, happy to swap any time.
I can certainly think of worse ways to spend a day Dave. Looks glorious in the sunshine mate.
Tony.
Tony.
Not noticed that but then again I always join Strines from the Bolsterstone side then turn off left over Ladybower towards Hathersage
Yep I did the last few miles with my lights on. Excellent.
Not been down The Strines for a few months, maybe have to check it out

I was at frozen Mint Towers this morning, -4.8 here, positively baltic
Certainly was Tony
I'd like to say yes Toby, but no Pauline was playing in her sewing room. I did ask if she wanted to come too....So Dave out on your own ? Is that because there's no cake n coffee stop ?? Still looks a great day

So a pub lunch stop instead, but cant post pics in case Pauline happens to see it, dont worry we wont tell
Very familiar roads there Dave, often stopped at that layby on the road towards Hulme End (2nd photo) and that lane up from just above Hartington to the crossroads towards Earl Sterndale is a favourite.
Lovely day , but brass monkey weather!

True Ken, but the heater in the Z3 is magnificent plus with the heated seat I was toasty. A brilliant day
Nice to have a bit of "me" occasionally mate. And today i suspect is just you and your jet washer 
Yes but not much point at the moment round here. It would be filthy again in 50 yards... And today i suspect is just you and your jet washer
