52 hrs on the RT from Darlington to Madrid with a stop at friends in france for breakfast for 3 hrs. And then back up to Belgium a couple of days later. I drank lots of coffee during that trip!

Should have been a lot less to Madrid but the weather was that bad down through france I had to get off the motorway as the rain was bouncing up to visor height and I was getting overtaken (nearly taken out) by lorries that could see above it but not see me in it!

Not a pleasant experience but one to remember!

National Rally this July - 900 miles give or take, nearly all on B roads, in the rain, through the night (slept an hour on a pub floor), using a MAP - not a GPS, then another 40winks at Taunton Svcs on the way home. Had a bath, demolished a roast n slept 12 hours.

Will I be entering next year? YOU BET!

Prefer maps. Nothin like spreadin the map out on the pub table planning tomorrow's route whilst in the Alps. Got a MP3 plugged into the Autocom for tunes!

I confess I am sad to say, it was my first visit to Bletchley Park and although the site was shut, I was too tired to look round anyway. Heard rumours it's in financial difficulty: a crying shame. in many other countries it'd be a national treasure.

But then again, in bullsh1t reality it was the Americans who siezed the Enigma and cracked the code - what was the film? U(boat)71?
