Cromford Mills 2012
 
An interesting road run, and a great heritage setting, many thank to Richard for organising this small steam up.

The road run was short but challenging, out of the mill yard, and up to Arkwrights house (now a hotel), not even a mile, however the drive up to the house is very steep - and just keeps going. A new experience for me, and we got back down safely, no plugs lost or runnning away.

No prizes, but what happened next?
