Wow, thats some serious mileage! Was a great day for it was up there or thereabouts today with my mate, def noticed a lot less cars on the roads like you say. Bowness was heaving as usual, over Kirkstone Pass and we barely saw any cars along the route. Not that i'm complaining

makes a nice change from getting stuck behind bloody coaches!
Then got to Kirkby Stephen and might have found out the reason why theres so few cars out. Took £20 to fill up my ninja, sh!t the bed!
