South in the darkness...

Stockport

Heading south on Thursday, driving south in the darkness, south through the night.

Cheshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire.

Somerset, Devon, Cornwall.

Stockport, Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford, Birmingham.

Time for a break, Frankley services? Or hold on 'til Strensham?

Worcester, Gloucester, Bristol, Taunton.

Midnight long gone, Friday, it's Friday now.

Exeter, Okehampton, Launceston, Bodmin.

Following the white lines and the red lights of the trucks in front,

Shading eyes from the glare of the headlights behind.

A34, M56, M6, Spaghetti Junction.

M5, A30, Jamaica Inn on top of the moors.

Temple turn-off, always intriguing, never investigated, what temple, what ancient god?

Three hundred miles, soon be there. A391, Lockengate, Bugle, and climb the hill.

Is it morning, is it breakfast time? Turn off the engine.

Key in the door, into the kitchen, cereal and cranberry juice, bacon and coffee.

And sleep...

Any of my friends along the way interested in 2 am coffee, cake and conversation at a service station? Tea and a muffin?

(Might be 3 am, 4 am, 5 am depending how close you are to the equator...)

Yeah, I’d give Frankley Services a miss!

To be fair, the Costa is OK but there are nicer places to stop off.

Oo, I've never managed to get that far. Perhaps I should go the extra mile (or sixty) sometime...

My favourite stop off in fact is usually on the return journey, depending on date and time. When they are open I drop in at Route69 in Weston-super-mare. Nice coffee, beautiful bar staff, kinky conversations, possibility of a little excitement in the play rooms...
