From Tuesday to Thursday I was away in the Pytchley on the PWA7C Cumbria Run. Despite a dire weather forecast before the event, we enjoyed generally glorious weather on the run from Masham to Crooklands near Kendal. The free day on Wednesday was taken up with a visit to the Ruskin Museum in Coniston which has recently become home to the restored Bluebird K7 in which Donald Campbell was killed in 1967. Highly recommended but very poignant.
Around 30 cars took part, mostly Austin 7's and 12's. The Pytchley went very well but the oil consumption is getting to the stage when I need to do something about it. The engine was the first I built back in 1982 and it has seen some service in various cars over the years.
