Drive It Day - 25 April 2010

Nine Morris Minors, plus a Mini and a VW Polo met at Washington Services, another three Minors joined us at Prudhoe and we all headed for Blanchland for a coffee stop.  It was a lovely  scenic drive but the weather was not promising, cloudy and showery.

After our coffee stop we set off for Killhope Lead Mining Museum, it was a fantastic convoy.  Unfortunately, Killhope is in the middle of some alterations but it still made a good lunch stop.  The weather here was absolutely bitter, (see the photo of some of us huddled in blankets). 

Lunch over we then headed to Stanhope with a stop for more refreshments and then home.

An excellent. enjoyable drive it day with a fantastic turn-out.  Thanks to everyone for joining in and to Arthur Henderson for planning the route.
