I am due to spend this coming weekend with fellow Riley owners at a hotel near Belper, Derbyshire.

Surprisingly I was able to fill with petrol today in Manchester, without queuing. So I have a tankful; that will comfortably see me there and around the attractions that we are scheduled to visit.

However, I would need to fill again to ensure my return to Manchester, probably on the Monday morning.

So, fellow virtual drinkers, does anyone in here frequent that area? If so, how is the fuel situation? Having posed the question, I will ask again maybe Thursday, or before I set off on Friday morning.

I do have a Plan B - my modern which I also filled today with diesel; that is primed for at least 500 miles, so if I was twitchy about the fuel situation I would go in that, but obvs I would prefer to use the Riley.
