Our Trusty Steed

This is "Gorgeous", who is taking us from deepest Eden in Cumbria to the Olympics!!

Half the journey done today, stopping halfway to pick up niece. 200 miles on a 12th of the 5.5L tank. The beauties of diesel.

I tried for "cheap" train tickets, but no matter what combination I put into Trainline, for four people and then three, and then four of us (ever changing plans), the cost was always irrationally prohibitive.
So I did some sums (quite a feat for me) with the help of an online fuel calculator, and worked out that it would be two thirds cheaper to drive (into and across Olympic London aaargh!), so here we are, on our journey Olympic adventure, and here is Gorgeous, our Trusty Steed (can you guess?) resting until the onslaught on the Capital tomorrow.
