RogerH Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 So it is Wednesday morning. I've had a wash and a shave and bags packed. Heading off to the Lakes week-end via Porth Madoc. Tomorrow, have a ride on the Welsh Highland railway. What more do you need. See you all up there. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dblenk Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Roger something has cropped up so looks dodgy to make it this year only missed two since 1986, i am always in a modern car anyway haha hope plenty turn up to get it like the 80s and 90s i remember 120 cars signed on one year (yes my 5 was a regular then), with hairpins to navigate and a shear drop to the lake plus hard knott and wrynose great scenery well worth supporting this event see you next time david Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dblenk Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hi Roger two convoys sounds a good turn out how many signed on dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted September 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hi Dave, that was one convoy each day. There were about 16 cars present. Not many by past standards but it is gaining momentum . The new organiser (Steve Cathy) is very keen. Cat is giving him a hand while he gets his feet under the table.

foster461 Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Here is an artifact from a previous Lake's weekend. Carbon dating says it is likely from 1981 or 1982. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
