Good to meet up with the EMEG guys.

Dave Oneshot and myself made it to Chatsworth to discover the place heaving and parking very Esprit un-freindly!

A call to Mr Oogieboogie finds him and the rest of EMEG still in the pub so the decision is made that Dave and I will join them rather than them joining us.

At the pub (waitresses awarded the "Lamb" standard) soft drinks are followed by regular visits to the gents (people will begin to talk) and a plan is hatched to move on to Matlock to avoid the horrendous queues trying to get into Baslow.

Matlock Bath is as usual full of bikes but great roads getting there. Then we pull into a car park that really should not have allowed supercars in! The exit is such that I'm grinding my front splitter. The sound is horrendous and I'm sure everyone is else is suffering the same.

We split up at Matlock and Dave and I stick with the A6/A38 homebound.

A good day. Thanks EMEG

Great to meet up guys, had a great chat, and we did manage to leave the pub eventually !!!

Sorry about the car-park !!! My fault that one !!! Won't be going in there again !!!

Cheers

Good to meet all you guys.

Nice for Matlock Bath to see some "proper" transport rather than that open to the elements and ridden by people with a leather fetish!

Looked forward to the trip back from Cromford along winding roads, but got stuck behind a coach doing 40 mph all the way to the A38!
