It's the junction of the A52 and the A38 just North West of Derby. If coming down A52 from Ashbourne you can't miss it. Esso station and McDonalds on your right. Wait in front of McDonalds.

Options are to stop on A5 just before you get to Bassets Pole, or we can stop at first station we pass. Not sure where that it off te top of my head, but there's sure to be one around Lichfield.

You mean just before the A38? I'll look out for a fuel station aroud the M6Toll J4 (IIRC) then. That should leave me good to go for around 140miles. Love my tank range :D

Hmmm. Stewie wanted a ride around North Wales, so I stepped up & planned things because I was local. Then it transpired that Stewie couldn't make it.

Now you lyelj plan a rideout local to you, and can't make it. Are you really Stewie (or vice versa??) :p

Have a good day in work mate, I'll be thinking of you whilst I'm seeing how far I can safely crank the new PR2s over ;)

That sounds like a plan! I'll call your boss pretending to be your long lost brother who turned up & took you out for a curry to catch up on old times. :D All my fault, sorry boss!
