I know you guys like the Military Road as I do always using it to go to our daughter's home in Whalton-well at the moment the bridge at Chollerford is closed for 4 weeks-how do I know -well just back from a weekend of Grandparenting duties in Whalton .
Had to take the grey 924S as my BMW air suspension pump has gone sick ,again-got to the bridge with plenty of time to get to RGS to pick up our eldest Grandson to find it shut( admit there was a yellow diversion sign about 2miles back) but no other advance warning at all nearer Carlisle.
So stupidly followed the Diversion signs as we were now in a rush all the *****y way via Otterburn back down the A68 to A69 then Newcastle & got there with 5 minutes to spare.
The 924S didn't miss a beat-probably not been driven like it for years (wife's daily car) & has returned nearly 32mpg over the weekend of 450 miles including a further trip into Newcastle to the University swimming baths on Saturday am then a trip via Ponteland home which during which sod's law dictated a diversion round through Kendal & Kirkby Londsdale as the M6 was closed by an accident between J36 & J 35.
Not bad for a 32 yr old cruising in the late 70's! when possible
