cool, there and back on 1 tank easy then
(gloat mode)

 

I got 650 miles on mine before the red light came on when I went down the other week, easy motorway miles even with the M5 nightmare bit, normally get around 575 ish

 

Yep still 315 miles in the tank was 580 (full) freaky weather at the mo tho, rainbow to the left of me, rain straight ahead, beautiful sun set to the right with a hazy mist everywhere

i've had 605 light on driving like your nan bit of motorway bit commute, i reckon total motorway i'd get 650 too, some claims on t5 forum of close to 700 but that's mad.... i usually get 500 work and back to the light -short trips.

 

All settled for our first night, was driving to a pub/car park over the road but found this beaut little pub with free camping lovely spot and a fab meal - Bettle and Chisel .... So far so good!!

Just had a read of a bit of paper we were handed in the pub! It says they have a room with shower available to use & there is a little spar shop across the road

We arrived in Delabole (about 4 miles from port Isaac) about 8:15pm stopped raining had an amazing meal in this pub called the Bettle and Chisel, they do free overnight camping and have shower facilities in the pub, prices not bad either 4 of us eat with me and Dave having alcohol £35! There's a little spar over the road opens at 7, off to port Isaac today then might come back here for tonight, was going to go Newquay as well but was told by the pub port Isaac gets so busy best to get there early to park, they film the school scenes in the school 100 yards down the road for Doc Martin, sunshine predicted too

Then took a wrong turn to Newquay and suddenly the sea was a bit too close for comfort!

Then we finally arrived at Fistral Beach and the beans had their first go at body boarding and Daisy took her first paddle!
