Macclesfield Run

On Sunday, July 29 QCar went or its first car run. Hillary had planned the route which took in a great number of hills roads. Eschewing towns and built up areas, Hillary had us travel on any number of byways taking us in all directions and sometimes almost circumnavigating a town just to avoid having to go through its main street. In this way we saw a great deal of countryside and travelled on some very unfamiliar roads. Our destination was Macclesfield where we dined at the Three Brother's Arms. After lunch we headed just down the road to Longview Winery, where we sampled the tipples on offer.

Keys Locked in the Car

On arrival at the Tree Brother's Arms Hillary promptly locked his keys into the Dodge. Here is a re-enactment of the subsequent break-in.

When I went out to take photos I noticed the Sunbeams parked at the top of the town.
