What an unforgettable day on the road! A convoy of vehicles set off from North Staffs Advanced Drivers & Riders and journeyed through the stunning scenery of the Peak District. With sweeping roads and scenic views from Leek to Holme Moss.

Our destination? The Carding Shed in Holmfirth—a hidden gem for vintage motoring lovers, nestled inside a historic Yorkshire mill. From retro café vibes to a jaw-dropping classic car display, it was the perfect place to park up and enjoy the company of fellow enthusiasts.

Huge thanks to Neil Theobald for organising the event & everyone who came along on Saturday 21st June, 2025.

 Route Highlights:
Sandyford → Leek → Buxton → Chapel-en-le-Frith → Glossop → Holme Moss → Holmfirth
