Picked up the hire car this morning, and other than a hiccup with the hire company's computer system which gave us an hours delay in leaving London all went well.

We drove up from London to York, via Bedford where we had lunch with relations. Other than a couple of delays on the A1 (someone forgot to check what else was going on) due to the Burghley Horse trials we were in York and checked in to the hotel by 7pm.

Sure enough the caps continue to travel with us, and made it into bed before us.
