We are now back from holiday after driving 1065 miles (1713 kilo meter).
We decided to cut 2 days out of our plans for the trip due to the persistent fog. First few days we had great weather, when the fog first set in it was fine as well as we were at Fountains Abbey where it added great atmosphere to everything, then we visited Emma's sister so no big deal. Last 2 days where primarily days for seeing the beauty of the lake and peak districts and we had zero visibility, so we decided to cut the Dean Forest days out out of the trip.
I used my trusty old Magellan GPS 315 to record the trip, one day I didn't use it as we were mostly just driving around New Castle, also didn't record short trips to restaurants and the like, therefore it's total distance is a bit out, only 947 miles on the track.
Average Speed: 63 km/hour
Max Elevation: 450 meter / 1473 feet
The car behaved perfectly, no hitches or complaints at all and overall I had a great time on the holiday.
I made the track using my GPS track management application that I've blogged about before, I'll turn it into a interactive google map with links to places, pictures etc and link it here later.
