I had a good evening of gloriously wasting petrol last night! Started out by finishing work at 7pm and picking my buddy Wayne up and then deciding as it was nice weather we should do something... Hmmm, perfect Cat & Fiddle weather!
Went up there and it was absolutely stunning, we stopped off for a drink and were going to head back down, but thought bugger it, we're here now so may as well
It was a nice drive, didn't really press on much and never managed full throttle as progress was already more than 'brisk' but then the phone went... handed it to Wayne and it was 2 live who was at Kel's... apparently I was in trouble for not also being there, so peaks run was done at this stage anyway and we we're heading to the Snakes Pass, so swung round and back down the mountain... on the way back we get caught at some lights and an 06 WRX estate is in front with some chap in his 50's driving it. Thought nothing of it until he started boosting it off down Britain's most dangerous road... well naturally I had to give chase. 2nd gear, pin it... oops, better hit the brakes!!! Okay, I thought, dont use second or we'll be in his boot! Left it in 3rd and 4th just coasting at under 4k all the time and kept up easily enough before he turned off... well by this time I was 'in the zone' so pressed on a little more.
As we get nearer to the C&F I ended up getting held up by a biker who was giving it some, so overtook him (to Wayne's horror) and carried on down towards Macc and eventually to Paddy and Kel's to meet everyone.
Chilled there before taking on "The one in front"... ;)
