291 miles each way seems a bit steep ........... Stockport from Solva is about 200 miles via Aber, Welshpooland the M56. Sheffield is only 30 miles or so over the top via the A57 and very pretty too ( at this time of year when the road is actually open). Ive just done a check on the AA, if you put in via stockport the milage jumps down to 244, although I would go via Welshpool rather than Bala. Had you thought of an Mp3 player fastened up to one of the "Pignose" battery amps the buskers use, placed on the passenger seat? Steve the grease
And the Police car with blues and twos going, trying to ask you why your ears are covered up :P
I thought it was illegal to have both ears covered up with headphones and also have earphones in as well.
I could be wrong, it could be an urban myth, willing to be put right.

Hey Dave - you take the boat and I'll look after the chicks, OK?
Not sure of it's legal status.
Have you ever driven with earphones on and music blasting? Tried it years ago when the Sony Walkman was introduced into the UK. it's a surreal experience ... one is somehow one step detached from driving.
Bl**dy dangerous IME - maybe it gets better with practice.
Had a similar experience recently when both my ears decided to switch off at once. Now that really is wierd - driving a 110 in silence :)
How did the run go Dave I was redirected and my pal Chris did the London trip ( I was delayed the day previous doing a scottish run ) Derek
