I had to travel from Edinburgh to the West Midlands on Friday and back up to St Andrews the following Day - Saturday. This was a journey of some 700 odd miles.
Normally I would dread a journey like this on a Friday but it was a sheer joy with empty roads and for the most part beautiful sunny weather - not a Police Car in sight either.
Having hired a Volkswagen Passat Estate from Avis at Edinburgh Airport which was also deserted. The Passat is a great mile muncher and I was able to cruise unhindered for the greater part of the trip ensuring for me record trip times both ways.
The services were deserted as well with minimum facilities but enough to get by on.
HGV's must be loving this I would suspect.
