The 2010 Crossley Register UK rally, organised by John and Jeni Beasley and Steve and Elaine Thourgoood was based at the Izaak Walton Hotel at the south end of Dovedale in England's Peak District.

Most people arrived on the Friday and several took the chance to enjoy Dovedale in the peace and quiet of the evening while others enjoyed the view form the terrace.

On Saturday there was a navigation run via Tissington for a coffee stop and then on to the Bear Inn at Alderwasley. As a new feature the organisers arranged a driving test in the pub car park which involved driving a set distance with a bucket over the driver's head. Most, but not all, participants managed to set off in a forward gear. After lunch it was on to the National Tramway Museum at Crich for car judging.

On Sunday a different route was taken that went to the village of Butterton where an on-foot treasure hunt had been organised. Lunch and farewells were at the Charles Cotton Hotel in Hartington.
