Dambusters run 10th May 2015

[KEVMACH4]

I was late setting off for dambuster run so I thought I would go from mine to dronfield, hathersage,through sparropit, for about 12 o,clock sure I would bump into a oncoming triple , but no, so turned to go back through sparropit as I was going through when looked up to my right there was a guy with a camara about 30ft up, I though he looks familiar , looks like Steve Sdg57 ,so I parked up in car park down road thinking the triples will be here shortly, bout hour later Steve walked down, well where ar they we said to each ofter , we left Steve went ladybower , I,m still looking around Derbyshire, still a good run out.

Tom -Fantastic route - through some truly stunning scenery - probably some of the best views in England - brilliant and thanks for sorting it Only criticism would be the dirt track you took us down - was better suited to a KX500 rather than an H1, H2 or KH - Again thanks mate.
Next - in order of distance and therefore effort - Malcolm and Chris - very long day for you guys. Then Pet (Haggler) great to meet you - James (Mitsui Spy) - and local for the rest of us - Gary, Dave, Tom, Bev and me.
We met up with Bill and Russ on their H2's at a petrol station - thanks for making the effort guys Exclamation
Here are some pictures:
Line up at CMC:





Waiting for a few that got lost










Breakfast stop at the Yonderman Cafe - nice brekky too






Up at the dams:







Unfortunately we had already lost Malcolm as he needed to get back and James, Bill and Russ made their way back from here
Wink

Monsal Head - stunning view and ice cream too!




What better way is there to spend a Sunday- riding through fabulous countryside with friends new and old on stinky old bikes that keep the ozone fighting too


Tom - that pigeon nearly got you just before we got back to Clay Cross.

Clocked up 152 miles of smiles.
Thanks to you all for making the effort - great day

"What better way is there to spend a Sunday- riding through fabulous countryside with friends new and old on stinky old bikes that keep the ozone fighting too?"

Good question John. When you find one, let me know!!

What a good day out, great to catch up with everybody, cooperative weather and top marks for the breakfast stop.

I'm glad everyone enjoyed it and I'm genuinely sorry about that mud bog sketch. It really was as dry as a bone last Thursday evening when I did a trial run

Already looking forward to the next one.

As Kev metioned I arrived early to capture the once in a life time picture of KTC Dambusters Run comming down Winnats Pass Derbyshire
I think I must have miss read their planned route
Anyone any good with "Photoshop"

Steve - sorry you missed out mate
We were running quite late - breakfast was at 1.00pm - so I guess you would have had to wait for a couple of hours for us
First time I have been down that pass into Castleton - impressive except the bloody cars

Like this? - sorry its not you guys - but it is from a Triples Rally.
I have driven and ridden the Winnats a few times - the worst was going up in a old Scout van with slipping clutch - everyone except the driver had to get out and walk
