Five hour journey to Poole this morning. Considering the amount of traffic and the number of people who had decided to crash their cars, I'll consider that a bit of a result.
Headed into Poole this afternoon but headed straight out again as it was packed. We'll try again once the bank holiday is over. Instead, strapped the bikes to the back of the car and drove over to the South Downs and had a really enjoyable couple of hours just pottering around.
Braving Pool tonight for a sit down chippy tea which we have booked.
We went last August Bank holiday and Poole was quite scarily packed on the Saturday and Sunday. Then on the monday it quietened down a lot and much better to get around and get in places. Hope you have a good holiday @proactive and it gets less packed after the bank holiday. Leave me some cider in the pumps , not long til we're down there
Took us about 5 hours last time as well. After just saying how good the journey was and ringing the cottage owner with an estimated early ETA , we got stuck for ages through crashes on the M3 & M27. (Normally takes us 3 to 3 & half hours on a good journey with a stop )
