Ali and Gail Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Birmingham to Wells We left Brum heading south to the Cotswolds via Solihull, Henley in Arden and Stratford Upon Avon. It was then of to Chipping Campden, Stow on the Wold, Cirencester, Tetbury, Badminton, Tormartin, Bath, Cheddar Gorge and finally Wells with a few little stops and detours on the way. Chips and a battered sausage in Cirencester. On this road trip we are maxing at around 5 hours a day or around 120 miles driving so we can treat it like a holiday as well, we've done the 10 hour, 400 milers and fancy a change. Thankfully as some of you know we are taking what I believe they call a "Silver Gap Year" so no need to rush. In Cheddar Gorge we did meet 2 Caterhams from Germany who had been over for the 60th anniversary at Donnington and that were lucky enough to be in the 500 car parade lap. Country or language is no barrier if you love 7's. The parking attendant did come over for his £5 but he loves 7's to so let all 3 of us off. As usual the cars the star and as Gail and I say "Smile and wave" we seem to make a lot of people smile on our journeys, the kids faces are priceless and I don't know what to say about the Chinese, they go nuts. The high light of today despite all the stunning roads and scenery was listening to the Wells Cathedral Choir at evensong, absolutely beautiful. Don't worry we're not going religious! 3 Quote
