This year, as in
2007, the High Peak Run will start & finish at the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton.
Hot coffee will
be on sale from 9.30 to warm you up on arrival.
The route will be about 50 miles through the scenic Derbyshire
countryside, taking in the new road in Maltock & returning via Bakewell.
The Run will start at 10.00 with vehicles leaving at ten second
intervals.
You are advised to start the Run with plenty of petrol as
it is possible that no garage
will be open on the route. Garages in Buxton will be open.
On returning to the Pavilion
Gardens lunches, snacks & drinks will be available in the Restaurant,
Bar,
Coffee lounge & Snack Bar at a range of prices, or you
can bring your own lunch
& sit in the Gardens, view the vehicles & enjoy the
scenery.
Children & dogs are welcome. Coffee & alcoholic drinks
will be available. The prize giving
will take place at 15.00 & we hope that entrants will be
able to stay until then.
There will be 6 classes - defined as
follows:-
Class 1 - Motor Cycles manufactured up
to 31/12/1945.
Class 2- Motor Cycles manufactured after
1945 & at least 25 years old;
younger machines of exceptional interest
will be accepted at the Committee's discretion.
Class 3 - Motor Cars & Light Commercials
manufactured up to 31/12/1930
Class 4 - Motor Cars & Light Commercials
manufactured from 1/1/1931 to 31/12/1939
Class 5 - Other vehicles of note at the
discretion of the committee with an engine capacity of 2 litres or below
Class 6 - Other vehicles of note at the
discretion of the committee with an engine capacity of over 2000cc.
These will be vehicles in a thoroughbred
tradition of obvious excellence. If your vehicle was
manufactured after 1959 please contact
us to check its eligibility unless this car
has been accepted for a previous High
Peak Run.
Have a look at the 2005 List
of Entries to see what sort of entries are normally eligible
Prizes will be awarded in each class
for:
A. Concours
B. Roadcraft (observation on Route)
There may also be a prize "per ardua".
Rosettes will be affixed to the vehicles
winning awards. The Derbyshire Life Trophy
will be awarded to the competitor who
accumulates the most marks in Roadcraft
(irrespective of class).
If there is a tie the marks in the Concours
will decide.
The trophy presented in memory of the
late Humphrey Williams & Don Nall is
awarded annually to a member of the High
Peak Historic Vehicle Club who enters
the Run in a vehicle maintained mechanically
by themselves.
Bob & Judith Haywood donated the
"Bull i'th Thorn Rosebowl" which is awarded annually
to the member of the High Peak Historic
Vehicle Club who receives the
highest number of marks in Roadcraft.
The closing date for entries is 17th of May or the date on
which the number of eligible
entries for any one class reaches 50, whichever is the earlier.
We therefore advise
you to send in your entry form as soon as possible. We will
despatch to you the
Final Instructions & Entry List by second class post on
the 20th of May.
We plan to regularly update the entry list on-line.
The Entry Fee is £10. We will accept changes of eligible
vehicles up to 17th May.
After that date changes will be accepted only to another vehicle
within the same class.
If you are unable to to enter the Run
this year but would like to be involved, we would
very much appreciate your help in with
the marshaling, either the Roadcraft observation
or at the Start & Finish at the Pavilion
Gardens. If you can help in this way please contact us.
The Run is organised by the High Peak
Historic Vehicle Club which meets on the third
Wednesday of every month at about 20.30
at the Old Hall Hotel in Buxton. The Club caters for
everyone interested in old vehicles &
warmly welcomes new members.
We hope that entrants who live locally
will join the Club & support its activities.
If you are a member of an historic car
or bike club perhaps you would publicise the
High Peak Run to your fellow club members.
The committee hope that you will be able
to enter the Run & look forward to seeing
you on the 1st of June.
