A breakdown on the Sheffield Group run - but only minor. While tackling one more strenuous Peak District hills, the Ruby of Anne Griffiths suffered a cylinder head core plug failure. I was a hundred yards ahead and as the convoy of cars - Ruby, Austin 20, Box saloon, and an Austin 12 - failed to appear around the last bend, I turned back. It could only have been around four minutes before I arrived, but by then a new core plug had been found and Rob Bailey was busy fitting it. We were on a single-track road, so a little off-road motoring into an adjacent field was called for to keep it clear.
