Inspired by a trouble free 2hr drive in the Viento on Sunday I thought I’d start thinking about the summer again
.A sporadic misfire I have been trying to solve for weeks had me thinking that I would not get the Ba**ard running smoothly again. Changed the plugs,
leads, coil pack( one had a small crack in it ) but still not quite right. –turned out to be interference on the crank sensor cable from a near by
plug lead. Moved this a few cm and perfect.
Any how, looks like Peterborough show is not going to happen (?) so that would lave August without an outing..
So can I suggest that if it is off we could plan for that weekend…2,3,4 days..
Paul
Ps still fancy Derbyshire as the best option., and near a good pub.

Glad to hear you are making good progress Paul.
On the subject of where I am beginning to think yes, Derby/peak district would be good as a starting out offering. Many years ago (when Sara was
impersonating a whale. pregnant with our first born, 19 years ago) we spent a week at The fenny Bently inn
linky click
here
Large car park, Good accommodation (then) good food (then) and back in '94 we went back to the area and stayed at a camp site almost next door
to it campsite linky. The food was
still good then. I note from their web entry that they now have their own micro brewery. 
I not saying this IS where we should go but it is an option.
Any other suggestions.

Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Some nice roads around Ashbourne and the food in the Fenny Bentley inn was very good the last time we camped in the area. There is a nice camp site
just a bit further out from Fenny Bentley that has a bar in an old coaching house and a swimming pool . Ashbourne can be a bit of a pain to get
through due to traffic though.

No I haven't forgotten about this, I am a little pre-occupied at the mo, but if someone wants to continue with this until finished or my SVA is
done then please feel free......

North Norfolk is really nice, interesting and varied roads, cracking coast line, Blakeney, Wells area is a step back in time. Hunstanton is very
welcoming of 'groups', being a favourite venue for car clubs, and motorcyclists.
There are plenty of camp sites, one which would be different is the site at the 'Muckleborough collection' which is a large site housing a
war museum next to the sea.
May be worth a thought as its within striking distance of Lincolnshire as well.

North Norfolk also has Holkham beach, just been voted the best beach in the country. Cromer crabs are said by many to be the best in the country as
well for those of us that like sea food.

If this date was set to coincide with the Peterborough show, North Norfolk is only 40 miles from it

Seems to be narrowing down to three possible areas
Derbyshire
Lincolnshire
North Norfolk
Derbyshire would get my vote but is a long way for those around Norwich area and southwards.
North Norfolk also looks good but is a long way ( slow route ) for our northern friends
Lincolnshire is a compromise on both ( in terms of scenery) but possibly a fairer journey for all.
Think we should all have a think about it and decide on a plan of action over a few beers at Stoneleigh.
