Social Drive 14 June 2010
The Stop at South Ormsby to allow everyone to catch up . . . |

A beautiful sunny June evening and over twenty MGs arrived at the Abbey Lodge, keen to explore the lovely Lincolnshire scenery. John & Sheila Laurence had found some gorgeous areas in the Lincolnshire Wolds including the Bluestone Heath Road near Cadwell Park and Scrivelsby Deer Park near Horncastle. A puncture en route for Nigel and Sandra Petch saw them meeting the rest of the group when they endeavoured to catch up! The sunsets were extroardinary as Sheila's photos show . . . |
|
Right - the Stop in Horncastle to ensure everyone had caught up before the drive through the curves past Scrivelsby Deer Park. |
