Have DVLA issued you your HGV licence yet, or is it still work in progress, or not as the case may be?
if bored you could add up my miles for me.! This graph is from my phantom tracker. It would be good if it kept a running total. The short trips are to the dealer for a service and then a guarantee water ingress repair. The third one in 9 years. You should be able to figure out that it’s still at the dealer!
So living in Scotland middle of - 1 x return to Windsor 840 miles - 10 x East Lothian 120 so 1200 - twice to Ayr 149 x2 - Loch Lomond west 30 miles x 4 then a trip to Oban 180 miles return 2.6 K in total - I get 25 mpg so approx 104 gallons so 472 Litres - average price 140 p per litre so 660 pounds in fuel - approx still cheaper than going to Benidorm and much more family fun !

Caravan, didn't count; but I was doing quite well and keeping up with bookings until the Crona finally got me ( that little sneaky git that rides comfortably on the backs of the uncaring and selfish that refuse to be innoculated without good reason).
Planning on a xmas\new year trip in the caravan if all goes well,

3700 miles in total to southern Spain and back, but that includes about 1000 miles touring around without the caravan while we were there.

Yes Mel, the season ended at the end of October, we could have extended at further cost for winter but as we had to get the van serviced and we are seriously thinking of changing to an Island bed (we are both finding climbing over each other during the night a real pain) we decided this year to keep the lovely memories we made and look towards a longer season next year if we go down the same route. It worked for us this year BUT I do miss visiting different places, oh decisions , decisions!!
Just worked mine out, considering we didn't get away until after the 12th April done about 1100 miles. Cornwall 256m x2 and three trips to site near Fakenham Norfolk 98m x6
Its a compromise, for the reason you mention we went for the end bed, which is easier to get round, but we miss the end bathroom, the mid shower has part of the wheel arch in it which is annoying. However very glad we made the change, apart from anything else its great to have a solid door separating the lounge and bedroom areas.
