386 mile round trip fer a toastie! Good to get about! Know what you mean about the A9 but 10 and a half hours round trip as it was! Too old to make it any longer by using alternatives! Also spent 60 odd quid on juice....a consideration nowadays? Theres always plenty of decent hills to gaze upon from the A9, even if it is fairlyboring. If I have time I use the 'old' A9 as much as poss. Are you going away again soon?
I float out of Newcastle next Tuesday but haven't really decided on where yet...I just know that I have to meet Maureen 3 weeks later in Bulgaria
