I drove this road a couple of years ago while I was over on honeymoon and
remember thinking that fuel outlets where rather far apart and I would not
like to have been on a bike at the time. Obviously I was over reacting as
you managed the journey okay. From memory I only recall one garage in the
middle. Is this route as bad as I remember or was it just tourist paranoia
at the time?
