Journey time: 7 hours..normally 6 but guess there'll be traffic today because of the bank holiday.

Distance: 350 miles.

I've done this trip several times but we intend to drive without stops except we need comfort breaks.

So snacks at the ready.

Home made sandwiches
Fruits
Water
Sausage Rolls
Rice Cakes
Olives
Crisps
Lucozade

Essex is one of the flattest and driest counties in the UK, Cumbria the opposite, mountainous and the wettest.

I'll add pictures once we arrive but in the meantime. Enjoy the pics of the landscape as I traverse from south to North.

Same colour but old versus new😃

Re: Essex To Cumbria Road Trip (Photos) by shaybebaby(op): 12:12pm On May 24, 2024
Essex countryside. You'll know the difference once I'm north.

It'll look the same but...with loads of sheep😆

Mr Bentley oppressing me🤩

Bentley or a Harley?🤔

England is such a green country..but it has to be. With all the rain we get.

In spring, early ☀️ summer, it is truly a beautiful place.

Re: Essex To Cumbria Road Trip (Photos) by shaybebaby(op): 12:48pm On May 24, 2024
Some funny places names we have. Drove past a place called Trumpington😂

Let's hope the place smells better and is not scandalous like the former POTUS.

In the meantime, do you think God lives in Godmanchester?

Go straight for 127 miles ( Roughly 200km)..Do not pass go.

Re: Essex To Cumbria Road Trip (Photos) by shaybebaby(op): 3:37pm On May 24, 2024
Coming up the outskirts of Leeds.

4 and half hours so far on the road and we still have 3 hrs to go 😩😩😩

Re: Essex To Cumbria Road Trip (Photos) by shaybebaby(op): 3:38pm On May 24, 2024
Another one...but a classic.

Is the Universe trying to send me a Bentley?

Nice pictures.

Please drive safely.
Re: Essex To Cumbria Road Trip (Photos) by shaybebaby(op): 4:53pm On May 24, 2024
Let me confess, this is our third stop on the way.

First stop for a comfort break.

2nd to get some more water.

3rd stop to get a USB-C car adaptor.

Stop number 3 below.

Thanks sweetie.

I'm hoping it's still light when we arrive because the lakes are truly beautiful.

If not, I'll upload more pics tomorrow.

Lovely pictures. Thanks to Coco for sharing. This section has been all about japa in the past few years. Nobody travels and updates us. All we wanna know now is the european country we can enter with 2m Naira.


Nice one Shay!

3 miles to Scotch Corner, then we turn left, heading west to Penrith.

There is no "i better pass my neighbour" with these people, they are their own Neighbour.

UK is small and populated they say but see greens everywhere 😀
Re: Essex To Cumbria Road Trip (Photos) by shaybebaby(op): 5:33pm On May 24, 2024
Scotch Corner at last and now sat in Traffic....again! ( sigh)

But you can tell we are up north now because you can just about see the undulations in the skyline.

That and the fact that the sky is grey!

Been wanting to capture so clearer pics of houses..

Manage these ones..everytime I see something nice, bush has covered the view before I can snap pishure.

Camel in the UK?

Okay, I get that it is being kept on a Farm.

Also an Alpaca thrown in good measure.

Re: Essex To Cumbria Road Trip (Photos) by shaybebaby(op): 6:28pm On May 24, 2024
Tell me this doesn't look like heaven. And we aren't yet in the lakes.

Could you live here?
