Now i run an RV at 8.5 mpg i need to check routes if i'm going somewhere in particular...ie newark show...

three main routes are available to me from scarborough.

A64/A1.....120 miles

A165/A614/M18/A1.....114 miles

A165/A614/Humber bridge/A15/A46....102 miles

needless to say the shortest route will be the Humber bridge (Toll £2.70) saving me just a tad over 4 gallons of LPG (return) and £13.50 over the A64/A1 but taking the bridge toll x 2 into account this is a saving of just £8.10 :Sad:

A64/A1 is flat and mostly dual carraigeway/motorway. (cruise control, better mpg :thumb:)

A165/A15 is hilly, twisting and mainly A roads. (no cruise :Sad:)

difficult decision but fun in the planning :thumb:

You used the Humber Bridge route for Lincoln last year didn't you John? If that was OK it's probably the best for Newark as well. The A15/A46 junction is only a short distance south of the Lincolnshire Showground.

That seems about as much fun as sitting naked on a traditional woodworking bench with your testicles hanging in the vice and seeing how many turns you can stand before you pass out.

Me ? I don't have any vices.

You at least saw The Light.

But funsters must be The Greatest. £170 in fuel £50 tickets for a couple of days. And on top of that, HIS, beer bill. Makes my eyes water more than the vice would.

Suddenly it's not funny any more.

As an old truck driver of many years..I would take the Humber Bridge route and as you say jolly down the A15 etc and down and round Lincoln..

Hopefully if we can borrow a set of wheels we'll be paying a visit on the Saturday as we are back in the UK this weekend for a visit!!:thumb:

I've always found watching some sport on TV, or reading a book, gets me through a rainy day. But...whatever floats your boat...

probably will take the bridge and A15..

the A64 has to be the most sleep inducing road in yorkshire....just goes on and on and on and on, when the traffics moving that is :Angry:

been thinking of the B1249 / staxton to driffield instead of the coast road and can save another gallon of lpg, but the climb up staxton hill (1 in 3 and half a mile long with no run up from the traffic lights) will cancel about a quarter of that saving :Sad:
