And so the season ends.................

We ended our Pucking year with a quick trip to the C & CC club site at Ashbourne less than an hours drive from where we live, for the last w/e in September, aside from being glorious weather it gave us a chance to try out the Khyam Motordome Classic we bought in the end of season sales, finding one online was a struggle but eventually got a good deal from Lightening Leisure.
It goes up as easy as it claims with only one person. There is a bit of pegging but nothing too arduous. The link canvas to the Puck does sit a bit low and would fill with water if it rains, but I have a cunning plan to literally prop it up which I will try in the spring.
The picture shows us cooking and eating breakfast in the late summer sunshine on the Sunday morning. The site is very pleasant and friendly about 3 miles above Ashbourne on the Heanor road with great walks and bike riding in the area and Ashbourne itself is a good place to visit.
Le Puck is now tucked up under its cover and will at some point get new foam under the seats as the springing is long gone, and Mr Happy is due major open heart surgery (engine rebuild!) in the next month or so
