Road trip "up north"!

We had a very exciting trip planned this Saturday to drive up to North Wales to pick up some rare car parts (clearly you can see the influence of my fiancé on trip planning here!) finishing off with a visit to some very dear friends and a huge curry! I decided to document the day, but kind of forgot after 6 hours of driving but here's 9am - 6pm for you :)

9am - Coffee time! Black for me and "white with one" for the fiancé.

10am - Loading up and setting off! Check out our funky retro transit van!

11am - On the road, the weather was typical British Summer (i.e sun, rain and everything in between!) Snacking on Pizza and posing at our services stop :)

1pm - Endless traffic jams on the Motorway (M6 for anyone interested / UK based!) Meant I had plenty of opportunities to take some out the window shots of the the northern countryside as we headed up to North Wales for our first stop.

4pm - And then the weather REALLY kicked in!

4:30pm - Some details on the huge truck next to me!

4:30pm - And then some cows on their own day out!

5pm - Finally we pulled off the motorway, past some urban art and a sculpture of one of our Gold Medal winning Olympian Velodrome riders made of hay!

5:15pm - And arrival at our car parts and loading into the van! 

After this it was all about time with friends and a big Northern Curry and then the trip home! We finally got in at 2am on Sunday after 500miles and about 9.5 hours of driving! It was an adventure!
