NC500

[Oddcouple]

So, a bit of facts and figures for you. NC500 was in fact 1802 miles from start to finish. We averaged 30mpg over the entire journey, and we were down to 19mpg over some of the roads in the highlands so actually very pleased. Van was fully laden to cover us for 12 days, stayed sensible on the motorways going up, about 60 on cruise control, will admit to not quite as sensible coming back, mostly 70 but still a good overall average which could’ve been even better if I kept the speed a wee bit lower.

Hello,

 

Welcome home, safe and sound.

 

Thanks for all your updates, not to forget the photos.

 

I am hoping, when you get settled back into your usual routine, you can produce a synopsis for us all.

 

I hope, if you are able, you can specify where your fuelling stations were.

I feel sure this would benefit other members planning, or hoping, to make the same trip.

Off to the IOW today, but will get a list of fuel stops up!
