THE DERBYSHIRE DASH

We’ll begin the day at The Great British Car Journey, where coffee and bacon cobs will be waiting for us on arrival before we enjoy a tour of their superb collection of classic British cars. To add a little extra excitement, two fortunate members will be drawn at random for the chance to take some of these wonderful machines for a spirited jaunt around the grounds — while the rest of us look on, no doubt offering plenty of good-natured encouragement (and mockery).

From there, we’ll set off on a scenic drive through the breathtaking Peak District, heading north to conquer the legendary Snake Pass before looping back towards Ashbourne. We’ll round off the day with a well-earned pub dinner at The Okeover Arms near Ashbourne
