As the Germans say, 'Umleitung means Umleitung'. They are so keen on the subject that today's 30 mile detour even had its own 10 mile detour. We ended up in France !
The final umleitung of the day involved us completing 3 complete leaves of a clover leaf junction.
We also learned not to believe tom tom when it says fuel is available. The first 'station' had a sign but no pump, the second was agricultural diesel only, the third featured a picnic table instead of fuel. Fuel economy mode engaged (freewheeling when possible), we found fuel with 15 miles to spare.
Also 1 degree C is too cold to stay the day without a 'thermal layer' hence the first stop after 5 miles.
