rocgf Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Does anybody know a good place to have a road trip that isn't further than 5 hours worth of driving? I heard Lake District is pretty nice, any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Talker Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Knaresborough, just outside Harrogate? beautiful little ancient market town, straight up the A1 not far pastpast le**ds/ Wetherby, about 1hour/ 1hr 20's drive away. there's a ruined castle, (one of the ruins that Cromwell Knocked about a bit!!) and a beautiful view over a gorge from the Castle Gardens, Mother Shipton's cave, with a petrifying well.

Resident Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 In my younger days (back when petrol cost less than 70p/litre!). Myself and a couple of mates would fill up the tank in one of our cars, Pick up a dice and head off. Prior to each junction the dice would be rolled to determine our course. For instance if it was a simple left or right choice, odds it was left, even it was right. We'd do this until just before the gauge fell to half a tank and then navigate our way back. No sat-nav or maps, just our own geographic knowledge. It was good fun tbh. Sometimes we'd end up a few hundred miles from home by half a tank, sometimes just the otherside of town, but never the same trip twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
