Hi all
I will always remember leaving the yard at Leven Road, Poplar and picking up the North Bound carriageway of the A12 heading North until the exit for Wick Road. Then along the A106 Victoria Park Road until the junction with the A107 Cambridge Heath Road. Turn right up the A1107 until the left turn at Graham Road A1207. Keep going along Dalston Lane until the Dalston Junction and turn right onto the A10 Kingsland Road/Stoke Newington Road and all the way up to Stamford Hill, left on to Amhurst Road and on to the A503 Seven Sisters Road until the junction with the A1 Holloway Road. Then turn right and head the usual way up to Archway and the steep climb up the A1 Archway Road. Then it was “forever North” to The Watford Gap for breakfast and a half hour power nap before continuing North. 
Those were the days.
Happy memories.
