Re: Highland drive 2017 booking thread
The routes haven't been made official yet, so how can you be 100% certain we're finishing in Perth?

Depends where you live, some of us who have a long journey home after Mondays drive choose to stay at the Broxden Junction Travelodge and wind down in the pub opposite before travelling home on Tuesday morning.

Re: Highland drive 2017 booking thread
Indeed.
There's no way I would attempt to drive back to Kent straight after the final day. Made that mistake once. Never again! I was really struggling to stay awake during the final stretch. Endless miles of motorway at a constant speed is very soporific. Add in the lack of needing much driver input and it is the most likely environment for a driver to fall asleep at the wheel.

Simon.
Travelodge seem to be doing a voucherless promotion so £77 went down to £52 for their saver rate, not used a travelodge before so not sure if that is good or normal though.
Looks like I need to book the Perth one too, all this booking is going to get me more excited!

Perth Broxden Junction now booked for monday 24/4/17.
Quite a bit cheaper in Perth at £31 which has made me even more excited.

Re: Highland drive 2017 booking thread
I really hope Woody will be able to join us. I've been doing the same to him as I did to Bingham Snr...
Plus I could do with some company on the long drag up from the far South East.
