2007 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Tonga Green

Driving down for Pre-Christmas

Hi All

Tomorrow morning I'm making the long drive down the A1 from the North East to Biggleswade (North of London)

Then Friday I'm going into London (probably by train) for the day

What's the weather like down there? Anyone?? 2002 Honda VFR800

As you approach Dishforth and Boroughbridge, keep an eye out for CG he may be patrolling the area and asking to see passports

Long Drive

That's just a brief intermission.

I'd call a long drive Nordkapp to Punta Marroqui o de Tarifa, with at this time of year possibly over +25°C difference in climate - Mukluks to Sandals

Thanks for the replies

Mr pink useful as always

It will be OK as I won't have a TinTen on the back so CG won't spot me sure he'll be at the side of the road pointing his new torch at passing drivers 2002 Honda VFR800

CG will be be easy to spot,
Torch in one hand (black of course), lump hammer in the other and a "I'm a daddy again" banner hanging off the A1 flyover bridge.

Bravo. At least you went further south than Bonny Prince Charlie - he and his rabble only got as far as Derby (to be precise a few in his vanguard got as far as Shardlow) before the local militia told them all to take a hike back from whence they egressed.
