Bon chance. I see you've got plenty of drinking water for the desert plains of Northamptonshire

We're underway...

 

Been a while since I'll have done as many miles in a day.

About 100 miles to go, just cruising past Blyth 

And on track to swing past Nottingham soon.

What a day for it!

If only the Aircon worked... Hairy Scotsmen are not suitable for these conditions.

 

The country looks very pretty though, lovely views.

 

Passing through Lincolnshire now..74 miles to go .

 

I would put up a picture but it's flatter than my bank balance out there!

Christ, I would not fancy doing that sort of distance in my be-leathered 850 without the aircon working...

Using my aircon and keeping the sunroof closed is probably worth 0.1MPG on the motorway. So I get an average of 21 combined rather than 20.9. Got to tighten your belt with the cost of petrol right now, innit.

Decided to do a preventative filter swap about 10mins away from the collection location. Didn't think the vendor would appreciate it on their drive.

 

We'd had some telltale stuttering, so thought it was a plan.

A man who has just done 356 miles then discovered his front wheel was loose..

IMG_20220622_141442541.thumb.jpg.32d7d871a815205853d193ee59770dd7.jpg

We think it has loosened itself after the brakes were done.

All tight now

At least that big bonnet provides a bit of shade to toil under. Good old Volvo. Thinking about the workers.
