MSTG run to
Standedge Tunnel & Visitor Centre September

Line
up of Manchester Group Cars at Standedge Tunnel
Complete
tunnel vision, and after another interesting road run. The MSTG group set a
road run from the
Portland
Canal
Basin
in Ashton under Lyne, over somewhat hilly and bumpy roads.
We crossed the
Huddersfield
canal on more than a few occasions, before we eventually arrived at the Standedge
Tunnel & Visitor Centre. The tunnel sits
on the banks of the historic
Huddersfield
Narrow
Canal
, and was fully open to us on this occasion, with no repeat
of the British Waterways water pump problem we experienced last
year that shut the tour. The 17 cars were set out in the grounds for
display, and thanks for those that helped make this an interesting
day.
