This looks like a grand day out. Weather forecast is reasonable and I hear tell the roads thereabouts are of a high quality. Linky-dink. Facebook linkydink

Looks like it does Pete. https://www.tramway..../eat-and-drink/
Just noticed, says admission is £16.50. Anyone know if we have to pay the admission to see the bikes ? 
Don't think I'll be going in the museum if we do. 
Could still meetup at 'The Loaf' in Crich for a brekky if anyone wants to ? It opens at 9.30am.

How much? 
At that price I'm going to give it a miss and save me pennies. I see it's run in conjunction with the Vincent Owners Club, they're clearly trying to over value the show; like they do with their bikes 
.So please accept my apologies chaps, but I won't be there.

No probs Ian,
Are you still going to the 'show'?
Might have a run out anyway, but if it is £16 to look at the bikes, I'll just have an ice cream and pootle off somewhere else.

No, I'll give it a miss. You'll have to pay the £16.50 entrance fee to get to the ice-cream Pete.

Think I'll have a ride up there anyway, if only to voice my displeasure at the extortionate prices!!!No, I'll give it a miss. You'll have to pay the £16.50 entrance fee to get to the ice-cream Pete.
Not that it'll make any difference, but at least I will have had my say!
Probably end up at Matlock and see the 'real' bikes on show there.

You do get free entry for a year once you've been robbed though, Daps. Not sure I could find a tram that interesting.

We went!!.......................well, we went as far as the entrance to the 'Tramway museum'.
It was, indeed, £16.50 per person to get in!!!!!
Nice guy on the barrier explained you were paying the entry for the Tramway museum, the bikes were there for you to view 'for free'.........so I said if I promised not to look at the Trams, could I go in and look at the bikes 'for free'? Guess what he said?
Anyway, quite a few other bikers went as far as the barrier, and promptly turned round.
So, we went to Matlock Bath, had a nice cuppa, and a mooch around at the bikes there.........quite a few tasty bikes too.......in particular a Triumph Thruxton Special, wish I'd had the camera, it was a beaut!
All in all, a lovely day for a rideout, the Peak District is a great place to ride, shame the Tramway place was so expensive, but it didn't spoil the day.

£16.50 is too rich. It turns out an old mate of mine is friends with the organiser of the Crich show. I gather he'd had a fair bit of 'feedback' about the price before the event, but his hands were tied - the Tramway Museum set the price.
I had a very pleasant day doing 170 miles around North Wales. Cost me a tank of fuel, although there was additional cake related expenditure
