Wayne370Z Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Got to hold my hands up and admit to how glad I was being in her Mokka yesterday rather than the Zed (and not because I missed a "drink" opportunity). A trip to Heathrow to pick her son up and drop him back in Gainsborough turned into a mammoth 15 hour 570 mile round trip ; 9am leave Manchester for Heathrow - collect son who arrives back from New Zealand with no means of getting back to Gainsborough ..... Leave Heathrow about 2ish travel up past Gainsborough to Doncaster - because he needs to go to his dads to collect some cloths as airline lost his ... Doncaster back down to Gainsborough, drop off his stuff, carry on further back down to Lincoln - wife has just gotten phone call that Grandad is about to pass away. Lucky I suppose that we weren`t back home in Manchester but unluckily he had just gone few minutes before we got there ...... Leave hospital about 8ish call at friends round corner for tea & sandwich - not eaten since sandwich on motorway at lunch time. Leave fiends about 9ish for home -- M180 -- M62 -- motorway closed as jnct 31 ..... Diverted back along M62 for 2 jncts then up to Leads and back to M62 ...... Then, motorway is closed again and diverted off at jnct 26 ...... :rant: :rant:....... back on at jnct 25 and finally get home at mid night - absolutely knackered and the wifes up at 4;45 for work. And in all of the 570 miles (thankfully at 56mpg as opposed to 27 and with room for him and his snowboard) only saw one Zed. A silver/grey 350 at Heathrow.
