Well we made it to John O'Groats today :mrgreen: :thumbright:

Was a bit windy and wet but we finished with lunch there before starting our way back.

I'm taking a more leisurely drive back, overnighting in the Ardmore camp site again tonight and Stu / Mark are pushing on to just south of Glasgow tonight.

Was a great trip with fantastic scenery along the way :thumbright:

You do know that JoG is not the most northerly point of UK? You may have to go back. :whistle:

And that trip comp will prob be 26mpg in reality.


If only I could think of something useful to type here!! :(

Derek you are the most negative person I know! :-)

I don't care what my real mpg is because I only ever go by the computer anyway and it's 8 mpg more than normal. I only posted it out of interest. If I was worried about fuel consumption I wouldn't have done the trip.

As it was the trip was about having a good time and seeing some great sights, it was a great trip
