Event Report

 

The Cobweb Run

 

Report by Dave Simpson

 

A few of us blew the cobwebs away at the end of April and had a little run out over the north east hills to end up on the quayside at Hartlepool Maritime Experience. It stayed fine so the roofs were dispensed with in true classic car style, at least those of us that could, although it wasn't that warm. And with only one "Spider" on the grid it was hard to say just how many cobwebs were going to be blown away.

 

We a gentle meander over Chop Gate and it's always a pleasant ride over there, so I hope that the few members that attended enjoyed it and kindled some interest for bigger events later on. I thank them for turning out. Here's a couple of pictures from the event, hope it whets your whistle for the next run.

 

Alan's MGA, off to a good start (following the arrows).

The route got harder though as the arrows soon ran out.

 

A further picture taken on the cobweb run, winding over local country roads with only classics in sight, just as it should be. If you didn’t know that the bonnet in the foreground was a 1981 Alfa Romeo this picture could have been taken in the sixties.

Quite a nice run out.
