3 hours of trying to log in, and here we are ready to blog.
(mental note... never let Nogbad choose your password.)


We are now in Burtonwood, home of the brewery...



...Oh and Ev's brother. Sorry Ceri.

Journey was pretty straightforward other than a slight detour to see my mum (I'll never get those 5 minutes back) and Ev's ongoing argument with the Sat Nav.
Anyway, for those of you following the stats (I'm sure someone is) we've covered 237 miles today at an average speed of slow.
The car performed pretty well... by which I mean it was making the same noise and had the same number of wheels, gears and people in it, as it did at the start of the journey.

Other drivers did seem to take an interest, particularly one tractor driver who seemed to want to make us a drink... well he gave us the coffee bean shake anyway. (You drive a tractor in Lincolnshire mate and you think we're the w*****s??)

Wildlife seen today includes an emu, cows, sheep, horses and a flat fox. As well as the inhabitants of Mansfield.
Traffic was pretty awful going through Mansfield which is probably the worst place it could have been slow, but other than that it was not too bad.
We've not fallen out with each other yet, though I guess there's still time.

Finally we've been treated to a superb home made Lasagne (with green rocket salad) by Ceri and are now kicking back and relaxing before we make the ferry run tomorrow morning.
As far as we can work out, this leg of the journey is probably the most time dependant...

... so if anything is going to go wrong I guess tomorrow will be the day it does.
Good night all, go and make a donation if you haven't already and we'll speak tomorrow.
John, Phil, Ev
