Northampton and return tomorrow so an early start. Have a good
meeting and hope you are both well.
OK. Thanks for letting us know.
The last time I went to Northampton (two weeks ago) I intended to return
cross-country via Andover. This has multiple benefits for me; it's
shorter, the road speeds are lower (and so doesn't hammer the battery in
my Leaf), plus there are several new chargers around Andover. It also
misses the horrendous roadworks on the M3. The only problem is that I
got about halfway down the A343 (Newbury to Andover) and the road was
closed. I had 20 miles left in the battery with 10 miles to go and had
to return the A34 which left me with approx 15 miles in the battery with
25 miles to go to Andover via the A303. As a result, I was forced to
carry on to the nearest rapid charger on the A34 and rolled in with 7
miles left.
Then I had go through the horrendous roadworks on the M3.
Off to CH next Wednesday so got to get the car cleaned and sorted
ready to pack next Tuesday: back late May so will miss that meeting as
well.
Have a good time.
