Day 265/365 (7Aug2024)
Hump day, done! After another successful WFH day, I bid adieu to lovely Cheltenham. Those houses lining the streets were either silently wishing me well or celebrating my departure. The world may never know!
Now, for the grand finale: my epic road trip fail. Buckle up, folks! What should have been a 2 hour 15 minute drive morphed into a 3 and a half hour comedy of errors. Thanks to my trusty (or not-so-trusty) satnav, I ended up on Leckhampton Hill amidst a maze of road closures and nonexistent detour signs.
Next thing I know, I'm navigating a one-track road seemingly designed for horse-drawn carriages. No turning back now! With a few heart-pounding close calls and some impromptu off-roading, I finally emerged victorious onto the A40. Thank goodness for signs pointing towards civilization!
Lesson learned: it's not always about the destination, but the hilarious misadventures along the way. After all, who needs a boring commute when you can have a story to tell?
Glad you made it home safely. You’re correct about trusting your satnav, sometimes they will take you to the back of the beyond. Summer is famous for its road construction and detour signs that have gone missing! I always try to travel with a map!
