Stonehenge
It was time to say farewell to Oxspring today, so after a final clean-up and pack-up we hit the road again. Dean somehow managed to squeeze four lots of luggage into the Audi and we were soon motoring down the M1.
Our mission today, apart from ultimately ending up at Butch and Ally’s, was to make sure Dean and Ash saw Stonehenge. We arrived just before closing, so like Druids running late for a good sacrifice, we hurriedly paid our entrance fee and made ...

Day 17
... started again and got back on the M1 South and headed towards Wellingborough which I had missed the first time. Bear in mind a mistake on these highways is not just a simple case of take the next exit and turn around. The next exits are often miles and miles up the road and then when you do take them - there is no way to get back to where you came from.
After this, I was finally on the way home. The long way on ...
