- If you had to move 100 miles or more to the north, east, west, or
south, which would you choose, where would you end up, and what's so
great about there?
A hundred? Couldn't I choose 50 miles? If I had to go 100 miles
I'd end up either further away from Jane yet again, back in Barnsley, or
the same distance away from her in the other direction! If I absolutely
had to choose, I'd probably go north. I don't particularly want to go
much further south of where I am.
- Do you have a favorite stretch of highway or byway for driving,
touring, or wandering?
The M74 - absolutely blinding bit of road. Especially early on a
Sunday morning or late at night when the only other vehicles on the road
are lorries and you can have a bit of fun.
- Are you happier to start a trip or return home?
Never happy to return home! Who is?
- Plane, train, automobile, bicycle, or foot?
Love trains, hate the expense of train travel. I keep on thinking
about travelling by train more because well, where I live is practically
a hub! However, the cost of travelling by train almost always exceeds
the cost of travelling by car. And the flexibility of being able to
drive when you get to where you're going is priceless.
- Do you overplan or underplan your travels? (Assume that "no" is
not a valid answer.)
Is it possible to overplan? It depends on the trip. If it's a trip
where I can escape at any time (i.e. - in the country, I have my own
transport or a flexible ticket) then I don't really plan that much. I'm
pretty disorganised. If I'm going to be in a position where I know
there's no easy escape, I'll plan it to hell.
