We had bright blue skies as we set off in the TA for Hamsterley Hoppings to join a group of friends from the Tyne Tees Centre of the MG Car Club.
Despite the blue skies it was cold with a bitter strong wind. Thankfully we had an almost dry drive up with only a few spots of rain unlike the unlucky souls who came from the North. They had torrential rain on their trip.
Apart from the MGs there were many other classic cars there. One noteworthy one was the Delage with it's wonderful straight eight engine. I can't remember if it was 5 or 5.5 litre.

The other was an electric conversion on a Vauxhall chassis, built in the 1930s. The current owner has promised to send me some information on this incredible car. When I get it I will do a write up on it.
Some heavy rain in the afternoon dampened eveything but our spirits and we thoroughly enjoyed the day.
This year the supported charity was Help for Heros. We hope they raised plenty for them.
