Title: We're off
Post by: O.C. on June 09, 2012, 09:08:57 AM
On the GTR on Monday morning early doors..5 days in sunny (we Hope) Cornwall, staying near Truro

Gillian has allsorts planned and she's so excited about getting away as she doesn't get much holiday plus she works 7 days a week every week, so time off is precious to her.

I'll post some pics when we get back  :yes:

well you keep it there Steve, cos its dry and bright here  :mfr_lol:

the bike is oacked and ready, managed 5 hours sleep last night after Coldplay concert in Manchester, which BTW was absolutely awesome,,,didn't think much of the supporting acts though, someone called Rita ara or summat and Robyn, both weren't my cup of tea.

Will take pics of hol and full report on our return as per Geoffs instructions  :yes: :mfr_lol:

arrived after a 9 hour 420 mile journey much of which was in the pouring bloody rain ! But the GTR took it all in its stride. Sat Nav went haywire and comms. got flooded and went wonky otherwise it was a fairly uneventful trip. 
51.6 mpg Average

not really sure Steve it was switching itself on and off all the way here It had somehow gone flat before we set off all connections are ok. Will check it today. It rained heavily from just south of Birmingham to within 50 miles of Truro. Fingers crossed for an improvement  :yes:

sat nah and comms. Still playing up, have checked it all over and all seems to be fine except they are only working intermittently. Comms, is powered from the rear acc, point and sat nav, from front ? Currently watching telly looking at the pouring rain outside. Had a proper Cornish pasty and home made cream tea today on return from lost garden of heligan. Planning to return back to the Lakes on Saturday. Nearly time for a pint methinks. :yes:
