The 8th Annual

Serpentine Charity Run

Presented by the
Cheshire Lotus Owners Group

Sunday the 30th June 2013

Open to all types of classic cars, sports cars and classic motorbikes the event will start from 9:30am at the historic Buxton Devonshire Dome (University of Derby, Buxton Campus SK17 6RY) and involve a route though the Peak District National Park and some of the UK’s most beautiful scenery.
Entrants will be given their route maps at the registration point and from where they will also be started at regular intervals. The start point allows for the use of the cafeteria and facilities and alongside the refreshments (free tea and coffee) there will be bacon sandwiches available to purchase at a small cost.
The journey will be approximately 100miles and will involve several stops at places of interest as well as stops for refreshments, pub lunch, picnic etc and will culminate in a display of all the cars at the finish line in one of the Peak Districts historic locations (it’s a secret until you get there) around mid afternoon.
This is not a race and the planned journey time though the Peak District is to be around 4 hours to allow you to enjoy the scenery, stop for lunch or a picnic as well as enjoy your driving experience.
There will be an entry fee of £15, which should enable a substantial donation to the chosen local charities to benefit.

No Rob, it isn't too late. I sent my form and cheque off only yesterday.

You can also register and join in on the day.

[Rob P]

Cheers Roland, I'll give them a call on the number provided and ask about registering on the day

It was the mention of Bacon Butties that swung it

[G UK]

I may be able to make this but still can't be sure at the moment, if I can register and pay on the day that would be great as it gives me some flexibility.

Elan's on the drive ready to go!

Driver and navigator are ready to go!

Bacon butties in Buxton ? Hope they're ready for tomorrow morning!

See you there fellow Serpentiners.

A good day and the weather was generally kind to us.

Some nice cars displayed at the finish location.

Super day out and meet a number of new people and some known to me already, was nice to see the Elan M100 well represented
Bacon butty start was excellent, Peak district driving, top down of course, was fantatsic (if your take away all the god damn cyclists )

Think I'll be doing this meet again

[theelanman]

I too had a great day and am glad everyone enjoyed it.....
I'm just sorry I never got to speak to most people......
I was late arriving and setting up the catering facilities, was then deployed as the sweeper, then had to sort out the collection and removal of the wife's car and the catering facilities from the dome.......
I promise I'll try harder next time to get time to stop n chat.....

Another good day met up with some very nice people and got some advice on my car regarding over fuelling and starting.
Thanks everyone for a great day and hopefully a repeat next year
