My mate got himself a Boxster S last year and I took him out for a drive last October. He's been asking me to show him some more good driving roads so I cobbled a route together and it turned out to be a bit of a classic.

We were out driving for nearly 11 hours today, only stopping for loo breaks and a quick sandwich, and covering some 330 miles door to door.

Main route

Killhope Summit - 627m

drove to Banbury mostly on back roads, then drove to leicester then drove back to Rickmansworth. I'm shattered and I blew about

 

nice pics. Looks like a good day out.

That lamb looks like it needs another half hour or so on the fire though

 

Yeah, I had the maps

 

I've got you beat today Dave. I did ~390 miles to Manchester and back.


Mainly motorway though

 

Probably didn't take you 11 hours though Rich

 

My total was made up of only about 40 motorway miles

Just found out the place we visited called Allendale is also known as Dirt Pot

 

The pics are fab, jealous as always - I need to move, do you want a lodger
