After a very expensive game of Land Rover bingo which left us stranded in the middle of Spain last month, we’re ready to try again. With my world’s wheels out of action until a new engine is fitted, it’s my turn to step up. I’ve researched which is the most reliable used car on my list of potential new rides and we have a winner. So with European breakdown cover firmly in place, we’re off again.
We headed south on the M6 still undecided wether we were getting Leshuttle or the ferry. I let Pamela know she had until Birmingham to decide. The decision was made by stoke! Ferry it is from Plymouth to Santander. We agreed to stop in Oxford for the evening, leaving us just a 3 hour drive to Plymouth the next morning, arriving at the ferry terminal for 2pm.
The initial plan was to visit Clarkson’s pub and stay overnight local to there, but as always, we did no planning whatsoever and it was booked up for the next 4 days. Our stop for the evening is the fabulous Greyhound Inn just outside Wantage in Oxford.
The beer garden looked fantastic when we arrived so we dropped our bags off in the room and went straight back downstairs to enjoy the sunshine before tucking into delicious fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding from the restaurant.
