Depending on her route and looking at rough directions of somewhere in Essex to somewhere in Greater Manchester we could in theory cross somewhere near Lichfield, Derby or Doncaster.

If you're going to Mancland from the SE, you'd be insane to use the A580.

A556 maybe. I've not tried than since they've done that up.

I might have crossed Butters' path - I went up the M6 through Birmingham and up to J23 and across on the A580 as promised. A580 quite good. I love roads with 60 signs cos they're the rarest.

These smart motorways had better be the best dressed roads ever, cos the upgrade works are seriously p***img me off.

No pics today I'm afraid, cos the wi-fi keeps breaking up.

That means tomorrow I'll be crossing your already trodden path when I go over the M6 at junction 10 - but without getting onto it.

If I come back that way I'll think of you at J10.

This is splendid. The room`s been made up and I can have a nice cosy afternoon reading.

Hurray! I done got successfully dr*nk with my fr**nd who lives nearby, and got bCk to the hotel without being murdered

And I don't feel too ill this morning either.

I'm also on my hols!










A ' like'/+ for the first person who guesses correct where I've been from my beautiful photos!

It's York.

Where they make all the chocolate.

Lovely cloudage in those photos.

I spent my afternoon in exotique Southport, buying books.

I have once again safely returned from an evening of curry and dr*nk*nn*ss without being murdered.

But I was forced to listen to the terrifying urban myth of the Manchester Canal-Pusher, who murders people in the way his name suggests.

You're Pushing your luck matey!

You going to Alexandra Park, Moss side for the Carnival?

No. I'm going to spend the day in my hotel reading the books I bought yesterday.

I think it might have been cancelled after all the shootings last nite.
