Been to Sunderland today and south Yorkshire on the way back.
There 230miles mpg 25.5, left at 6 this morning kept to 70ish if you know what I mean most of the way there.
Way back with detour to South Yorkshire, speed mostly around 65ish due to traffic 258 miles mpg 29mpg got back about 20.20, total journey time 8hrs 50 mins
Only saw one surf, this evening in Maltby throughout the whole journey.

I know one thing it was b####y long day, the A1 is a crap road 70mph, then 40 then 50 then 60 back to 70 down to 50. Two lanes most of the way idiots who sit in the outside lane doing 60, 6.40am hardly anything on the road you indicate pull out behind them give them a while to see you, nothing. Wait a bit longer, still nothing, flash your lights nothing, all the while the inside lane empty. Then I see the idiot is on the phone with not a care for the outside world. Not one to undertake I gently nudged him with me bull bar that got his attention, just, so I nudged him a bit harder then he pulled over well sort of swerved, bit of a 180 and parked well skidded parked on the grass verge very thoughtful of him to do that.

That was a Good Day..... I,m hoping to organise one next year & hopefully we will get a few more surfs along this time .If we take 10 or more we get a group discount & it might even be worth turning it into a weekend social ?
As you know it's in a great area for a weekend or longer.

Koi....Sunderland...you'd fit right in there.....loads of nutters

yeah strange that, I drove 230 miles to get there and felt right as if I was still at home

If hadn't have been such a crammed in day would have popped in for a cuppa.

Driving down to Devon just after xmas (round trip of about 1200 miles).Should be a good test of MPG, and will power on the pedal to the metal.
Remember Koi, you NUDGED the gentleman (idiot) with your NUDGE bar, not your bull bar - when the policeman takes your statement for such said actions you can claim a nudge bar is for nudging, but a bull bar is for ...... well I'm not clear on that one!!

If we could make a weekend out of it I would definitely make the trek up there. From all the pictures I've seen, it looks amazing and I wanna go!

No need for digs Koi pitch your tent/caravan in the field behind the pub(good beer and food) Langdale is just 25 mins away and the fishing is preety good too.

i think the driver of that one fell asleep on the M27 between 10+11 cos he drifted into the side of me! leaving i tiny green spot on my truck and obliterating his mirror and a large dent i presume!!... didn't catch his name, he woke up and drove off!!
