MONTH 7 By Ben Oliver

reached Level 3 Fatherhood, in which one must attach stuŠ to the exterior of one’s vehicle on summer holidays. So I made my ‘irst use of the standard retractabl­e towhook and the optional double bike rack which attaches to it easily and with reassuring solidity. It’s ‘lexible enough to handle both my road bike and a BMX, and pivots to give access to the boot. Despite the very full load I managed my best-ever tank at 42.6mpg, using active cruise control for most of the 600 miles to Donegal.
