Yep back safe and sound, and could not have asked more from N3, she did me proud.
Only problem occurred North of Carlisle with an increasing vibration from the front brakes, so used the handbrake for the rest of the journey.
As Andy said, how anyone could live around the London area without topping themselves beats me. Even on a Saturday the shortish M25 section that we covered was a carpark, and when we got onto the M1 it was even worse, and we must have lost an hour there. And that was without any accidents on the roads.
On the other hand, once North of Preston, the traffic thinned out, and by the Lakes, there was hardly anything on the road. Weather was diabolical from the start of the M6 onwards, got the top on just in time underneath a bridge, and felt really sorry for Scotty and Jaci.
450 miles on Friday to the Ferry, 650 miles on Saturday to Old Deer, so spent Sunday recovering, and eating a good British roast with the family.
0500 now as I could not get back to sleep, so will catch up on the rest of the posts from the last two weeks.

Gareth, that post was rather in jest, car is parked in the bike shed for a couple of days of well earned rest, then I will fix the brake problem, probably a warped disk, and give her a good clean.
