An Ol' Fashioned Road Trip


Tomorrow morning we are setting off. Only the road in front of us and about 2 GBP to our names. We've decided to go on a road trip. The goal is to see as much of the UK as possible in a little over a week while staying with friends and generally having a good time. 

There are a couple of things that concern me:
1.) I don't really know how to drive in the UK, and my husband cannot drive at all.
2.) Sleeping in the back of the car, especially because its winter.
3.) The questionable map reading skills of my husband.
4.) We didn't get in touch with friends until yesterday- so we are hoping they will be around- mainly so we wont have to sleep in the car.

Here is our general plan.
Friday 1/30: Take a bus to Plymouth, and pick up the 'Vauxhall Astra'.
Sat 1/31: Drive around Cornwall, and stay with friends in Crewkerne.
Sun 2/1: See Bath and stay in Bristol wit h friends.
Mon 2/2: Driving in Whales
Tues 2/3: Make it through Liverpool to Preston, stay with friends.
Weds 2/4: See the Lake District
Thurs 2/5: See the Yorkshire Moors
Friday 2/6: Driving in Southern Yorkshire
Sat 2/7: Arrive York and stay with friends.
Sun 2/8: Take the bus from York to London

I'm hoping to take you all along for the ride. So sit tight and I should be posting some pretty pictures. (I hope!!)
