Today, Sunday 7th April 2019, the 11th Flying Scotsman Vintage Car Rally passed Appletree Cottage.  A procession of 104 beautifully manicured motors, spaced approximately two minutes apart, kept us entertained for over an hour.
The Rally started in Windermere on Friday and made its way to Slaley, then Donald Trump's Turnberry Hotel finishing at Gleneagles Hotel.  Contestants stay in luxury  accommodation in all three of these locations, revitalising their driving and map-reading skills for the following day

Cars were spaced at about 2 or 3 minutes apart
Despite their age the cars passed us at a fair speed making it difficult to photograph them with out motion blurr.  The drivers then made much use of their brakes at the junction just beyond us to make their left hand turn.
The quiet single track road past Appletree Cottage was no doubt selected as part of the route because of its stunning views and scarcity of traffic.  For drivers it would not be too difficult to imagine that they were traveling in an earlier age.

I grew up on a farm with my grandparents, and it's one of my greatest memories and experience ever. I remember looking forward to spending the summer in the cottage and just enjoy nature. I've always wanted to spend my retirement days in a country village just like my grandparents. It looks so peaceful and serene. Even though it's been a while since I went back and visited, it always makes me feel nostalgic. Thank you for sharing this post and it took me back to my wonderful memories as a child.
