The routes haven't been made official yet, so how can you be 100% certain we're finishing in Perth? ;)

Ann and I are meeting up next Wednesday to finalize things, but its safe to say we will end the drive in Perth on the final day :)

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.

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.

Is it too early to start getting excited?

It's not too early to get excited Simon, did you get a good deal? :th:
Thats good!

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!

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. :th:
