I travelled up through the Dales and up through Settle and Kirkby Lonsdale up to Windermere and then over the Kirkstone Pass to Ullswater and then picked up the M6 up to Moffat at Penrith
Sunday a day of hooning followed by the M6 all the way back down
Total of 477 miles and 31 mpg over the weekend
Pretty impressive really .. and no I wasn’t hypermiling

Unfortunately Craig, once getting into the car there is a complicated series of levers and pulleys which all must be operated in the correct order before pulling away us achievedcraig3.2 said:ScoobyR1 said:Thanks Craig
Despite all your efforts, describing the route, handing me a copy of the route THEN describing the route a 2nd time ............I still only managed the 1st roundabout before I was lost
My dearest Google maps taking me up narrow farm tracks full of cowshit, potholes, Ford's ( the watery features, not the car ) and Farmer Palmer
I ended my group run heading up the A7 home, all by myself.
Despite that it was lovely to meet you all and a note to myself for any future meets would be to get into my car 5 minutes before everyone else so that I can at least see which way they went!
As I said in my pm, apologies for thinking I had made it clear we were going to Hawick,and we would stop there. I thought you had heard me say that. The other 3 we "lost" appear to have just went home,rather than leaving from Hawick,as we had(the rest of us) expected them to get to the carpark in Hawick Before going home,lol.
The one or two errors on my part,re emphasizing the Hawick Stop,and taking one or two slight wrong turns, briefly...I am putting down to feeling crap,full of the flu,etc!
Was good to meet you,and I waited until you were getting your chair into your car,so assumed you were almost ready,then gave it a few minutes before heading off slowly. Apologies for that,though others had said you were behind them after leaving Lockerbie?
Hope it didn't put you off coming on another meet,was good to see you,and hope to see you again soon
Yeah, apologies for not leaving enough time once you and your chair was in your car.ScoobyR1 said:Unfortunately Craig, once getting into the car there is a complicated series of levers and pulleys which all must be operated in the correct order before pulling away us achievedcraig3.2 said:ScoobyR1 said:Thanks Craig

This usually takes an additional 5 minutes !
