Road Trip to Wales 2017

Thu, 02/03/2017 - Sun, 05/03/2017

Leave London.
Meet up somewhere?
- Hillingdon?
- I think a good place to meet up, if it has to be near Hillingdon, would be at this Tesco car park. There is also a Shell next to it. - YYY
Drive around somewhere in England?
- Out towards Chesham and then down through the Chilterns to Theale?
- A4 along the Kennet, over the North Wessex downs and through Savernake Forest? (It's the old coach road out to Bath)
- B4632 between Stratford and Cheltenham is supposedly very scenic. Possibly a bit out of our way??
- The other side of where we want to be, http://www.drivingforpleasure.co.uk/roads-and-tours/post.php?s=2011-12-01-the-cheddar-gorge ??
Spend night somewhere in England?

- If the total trip time is 5 hours 46 minutes then it is almost certainly too long. Note that it will also take me more than an hour to get to Hillingdon (I suspect traffic will be bad on Thursday morning). I think it has to be cut down to 3 - 4 hours. - YYY
