Floz if we're drivin on one the of roads i think we are, it'll make a great shot with a drone, its sort of down a small valley, hairpin at the bottom and back up the otherside, you can see all of all road for a good distance so you know if any traffics coming the opposite way ?

Not good news, about a mile from home yesterday my engine started makin a horrible noise. When i stopped  and got out it was knocking like hell. Ill ring my local subaru tonorrow and book it in. I think it may be the dreaded rod knocking which is common in the 2.5s i believe.

Well I will probably be munching my Premier Breakfast for a little while :rotfl:

I was planning for a 10am start so if you can get to the Premier Inn for half 9 that would be good.

What SAT NAV's do people have?

I will print out the route map with instructions but it is often easier to have the route on your SAT NAV. I can produce the itinerary in a few formats, TOMTOM, GARMIN, COPILOT(Android) and CSV. If any of your SATNAVs can import these I can give your the file.

My SatNav is a Navman or I have an iPhone with Google Maps and Waze.
