The Royal Enfield Classic 350 goes to Northumbria Episode 5 - Ivy's running on fumes!

With all Ivy’s off road adventures last week she is now running very low on fuel.
Petrol stations look few and far between in this part of the world, especially on a Sunday, the two I did find were closed.
Google Maps to the rescue! The closest one I could find was about 3 miles from the campsite. Now I was worried, I had just over 75 miles on the fuel warning when the garage came into view. What a relief that was. From now on my first job on any ride out is fill the tank.
Grab your cuppa, turn the heating up, sit back and enjoy some summertime riding.
Ride safe, Dave.

Really weird to see you driving around my backyard and even stopping at the EXACT petrol pump I use, at Bardon Mill. In fact, you could (had you known) have shaved off at least three or four miles in getting back to your tent from the petrol station, if you had turned right at the Melkridge dip and gone up the steep hill there. Easy when local, of course. I loved seeing this set of Northumbria rides, because I have been toddling around all of these roads for fifty years.

Its good to know there's more in reserve than you think , and you've set a good marker for those who have fuel anxiety as soon as they see the F mode light up ! The most I've travelled before I've found a fuel station is a paltry thirty miles, I was thinking I'm going to end up pushing this bugger , but there was obviously loads left in it! 😅 Cheers Mel

That's yet another enjoyable run, Dave; those roads look really nice. The muppet in the car was probably on his/her mobile... Fuel warning lights have the effect of causing premature anxiety. Mine came on during my last ride and, as it was the first time it had happened, I had no idea of the real available range as I haven't had the bike (Guzzi 750) very long. I dived into the nearest gas station and discoverd that there'd been at least a third of the tank left! Still, better safe than sorry. 👍

Just think about fuel anxiety when 'They' start closing petrol stations as yet another move to get of the roads.

From Ponteland to Jedbrough....beware for petrol,,,,,,,,,,,fill up when you can in Northumberland...even just a few quid.

The fuel anxiety would have been unbearable for me!😱 . This is the one area where modern technology can help, advising where facilities such as fuel stations are located. Great scenery up there.👍

Wow! 75 miles on the ‘warning’ light is just a bit too scary. I’ve not taken my Hunter, also a 13litre tank, past 198 in total although I guess it could do quite a few more. Glad you made it!
