9th Annual Charity Run through the Peak District

Postby theelanman » Mon 27.01.2014, 14:31

The 9th Annual
Serpentine Charity Run

Presented by the
Cheshire Lotus Owners Group and The Lotus Driver Club

Sunday the 29th June 2014

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.

Please see the reverse for the entry form or Tel:- 01298 25590 to request additional copies or further information

Sounds good, but a bit far to travel for me

It's a "maybe" from me. I'd obviously like to but this year is a busy one for me.

Thought I'd have more free time in retirement. Fat chance! :lol:

I did this last year and enjoyed it but with classic Le Mans on the agenda this year and a few memorable anniversaries to deal with it is also a maybe from me until nearer the time I'm afraid

I don't think we've met have we Fredjohn? It'll be good to put a face to the name - looking forwards to it. :D

Nick, pull your finger out, or Kim, give him a kick up the bum! If I can resurrect an entire car in that time, you've got no excuse!!! :lol:

Neil: I think we have: I was at Donington last year when you came in your chipped up diesel :burnout: Rover. I also went to the curry afterwards.

Whichever, it will be good to get together. Will be in Buxton overnight Saturday. :D

Apologies FJ - your memory is definitely better than mine (mine is notoriously cr@p - just ask my workmates, I can't remember what I did last week)!
At least this time I should be in a proper classic rather than just a tarted-up (R)Over!
I'll be travelling up on the day though as it's close enough to home for me to be within striking distance.

Anything from me?

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
