Motorway meander#

Still planning to do the donkey mill and/or the duckpond, but I note in passing that D is also for Dull. Perhaps an expert in unicode can explain how to generate a D-MT-N-FH ligature, for Dull, yet Mildly Terrifying, Noisy and also Fuel-Hungry, which was my experience coming home on the M11 when I went out for a meander this evening. The "low fuel" light came on just after I'd passed the petrol station that I refueled at on A-is-for-Airfield, and was flashing zero bars 32km later when I reached the next petrol station that I knew the location of.
Action items
- buy earplugs
- figure out the trip counter, so I have more advance warning of how much fuel I have left
on the Airfield route I rode along Manor Road here and took the left onto Hook Lane, which is one of my favourite local roads as a cyclist. I remember noticing at the time that the road I turned off was NSL, so today I thought I'd go straight on instead and see if I could open the throttle a bit.
No. The right angle turns are a lot sharper on the ground than they look on the map.
