The car has now done around 525 miles in total. It took just 4 hours to come home Sunday afternoon even stopping for coffee and petrol. Saw 3 civics on the way up and 5 on the way back.
Derbyshire seems to be the forgotten place when it comes to the roads, the bit between where you are coming from, and where you're going to....
