 Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm just walking along the Calden Canal near Handley in Stoke-on-Trent. It's really nice to be back up here in the Staffordshire moorlands. I used to live in Leek, now I live in Buckinghamshire again, so it's nice to come visit. Now this isn't quite the walk along the canal, it seems. Firstly, we have a rather interesting lifting bridge, and then this doesn't seem like Stoke-on-Trent, it more seems like somewhere in East Germany or Russia or somewhere, when you come along here. And then this happens to be a Warburg and two lardless party, you're probably thinking what's going on. Well, that's actually my car, so admittedly I did just walk along the canal and came back just for the purpose of starting this video. So we're on the IFA club's road run around Stoke-on-Trent, and we're eventually going to go around South Cheshire. We were at Apedale this morning, so if you want to have a look at that video, look at the link on screen now. We all set off on a road run, and unfortunately in the Newcastle area, some traffic lights basically cut us off, so we kind of lost the convoy. So what we've done, we've taken a shortcut, and we're going to hang around here, and at some point in the next 10 minutes. Now, now, there's a Barker's coming up the hill, and loads of eastern block cars, so let's just stand here and watch this, this is going to be good. That was great seeing all those Trevants going up, all the ones going back. They've turned around now, so they're coming back over the bridge. So all we have to do, I'm going to get in my larder, and we're going to follow them. Hopefully that we won't get cut off this time by traffic lights, but it's been quite good in a way to be. If you get cut off by traffic lights, my larder's going without me by the look of it. It's all right, my dad's driving, it's not rolling the way. Walk around, walk around. So, we'll just see this lot go by, and I'm going to jump in. That's a Moskovich, pretty rare in the UK. The other larder's joining us, a Neva, and there's a Yugo coming, there's a Starver, the Yucca-Slavian car, people's car, and the walk road estate. Right, I'm going to jump in now, so let's go. Jumping in the larder, yeah. Looking down the hill, you can just see the line up going down there. So, we're going to leave this rather unusual bridge behind us. We'll leave the rather unusual canal lifting bridge behind us, and we're going to follow the convoy. That purge is not part of our convoy. We're going to follow the convoy. I think the purge thinks this is a genuine traffic jam. I don't think we realize we've needed to overtake, and we're all waiting to go. So, let's go around Stoke and Trent. We've arrived here at the Gladstone Pottery Museum. We haven't actually got time to go in the museum, but that's what we'll do. So, let's have a quick look at the car. Go round the front of my larder. That's missy, it's not in the space, but let's park to here because I wanted that back drive. Two walk birds. Looks as though they're actually starting to build another kiln here, and you can see that they're starting to slant inwards, because when you actually get close to these kilns, see how it looks very funny looking up there. So it looks like a chimney that's somehow gone a bit wonky. So then, yeah, this is the Barkers. So that's quite an interesting vehicle, Zafraje. These Trevants, these three here, these are the original two-stroke Trevants. That K.A. is not with us. There's the Moskowicz, there's the Stavre, and Abacavos, Abacavos, you know, there's another, what's it called, Warburg State, and let's go this way. Nice little polsky fit, and a larder neither, and another larder. So you may recognize some of these guards that have been in my videos before, especially when we went up to the North-East, we made a few videos, the other IFA weekend. I just want to have a quick look around here, I haven't got long. So I haven't got time to go into the industrial museum, but I thought we'd just go up to the front door just to see what there is, and you know, I never, at some point in the future, maybe we'll come back and do a video on this, but I haven't really got time to include it this weekend, but a bit of shame. I've heard a lot of good stuff about this museum, I'm sure we'll come here at some point in the future, so giant insulators, because of course they are pottery. So this is, oh look at them, they're massive, you see these up on pylometers, they don't look that big, but look, look, it's massive, it's massive compared to me. They are pretty big. So yeah, that's the museum, which as I said, haven't got time to go through today, but you know, I've been told it's very good, so do come and visit them. I'm going to go back to the car, and we're going to soon begin the next stage of our road run around the Potteryx, Eastern Block cars. We've just arrived here at Keele Hall. This is Keele University, the whole university campus surrounds us. We've got this amazing Keele Hall, and we've parked our cars in front of it. I've got my larder with various Trevants, Moskovich, the Polsky Fiat, there's a Barcus on the end, so I think it's a really nice line up, I'm really pleased to see this, and we seem to be missing a couple, there was a couple of other larders, so even if it's taken wrong turning, or I don't know, maybe they wanted to go somewhere else. There might be more cars arriving, not so short at this stage, but we'll find out. I really like it here. I've never, I've heard of Keele University, and knew about it was just the university near Stoke-on-Trent, but I've never been here, so yeah, here we are, Keele University. What a great place to end the video. I'm going to hang around, see if any other cars arrive first, and see what goes on. It's going to be an interesting afternoon. So here we are still at Keele Hall, all the cars have gone, we've all moved off to another car block. We're going to have dinner in the pub in the university, but seeing as we're here, before the while to finish this video, is just show you a little bit of the ground, because I went and had a look around there, and I thought, wow, these gardens are amazing. I cannot possibly not include them in the video, so admittedly I don't know a lot about Keele Hall, other than to me it looks just like, you know, a Jacobian country house. It's a very beautiful building. So yeah, this, I'm not going to go too much into history, because I literally don't know any history about it other than that it's a hall and it's become university, but I can show you it for its architectural merit and its beauty. Look at that, what a fantastic building. There's a university here. Whether you actually, if you have any lectures in the building, I'm not sure it's been more the, more posher things that go on there, you know, like maybe graduation, I don't know. Lovely roses, nice rose garden. They've got here, so yeah, this is Keele Hall. And then you can see out to the countryside, we are literally just outside Newcastle underline, so what appears we are out in a rural countryside area. We are not that far from an urban area. So really that concludes today's video with the IFA Club and our road run. Started over at Apedale, had an interesting trip around, we even went to Shropshire briefly. So I hope you enjoyed this video. Thank you very much for watching and please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment and from The Gardens at Keele Hall, goodbye.
