Something for the weekend?


Recommended Posts

Where is good to go for a nice drive and then a nice stroll once you get there?


It'll be me doing the driving, and can't drive on motorways, just A roads, as I am challenged in the whole having a license malarky (I am taking my seventh and last crack at my practical test in April).


Nowhere too far, like Carlile or Hull or newquay, please.


Thanks!

I am limited like you but because I have a nonsensical phobia of driving on motorways. However it has meant i've found a few nice trips to the countryside via A and B roads only.


Would suggest driving to Ashdown Forest area. Lots of nice pubs there and big country walks:

You also go via home of Winnie Pooh which is nice place to stop if you've got kids with you:

Best way to go is through Bromley to Westerham, then take the B2026 which has some lovely countryside and pubs on the way. All this is within 1.5 hours drive.


Also would recommend going to Chartwell - the gardens are open at this time of year. Absolutely beautiful countryside views from the massive gardens. Probably a good one for fine weather though.

Have fun

    • I am at The Gardens. I saw GP on a Wednesday and he recommended physio, he checked availability and offered Tessa Jowell Centre for Saturday at 1 pm or Forest Hill Road Practice on a Monday at 11 am. I chose FH- very efficient/ Physio at FH very helpful, sent me some neck exercises and referred me for spinal assessment at Kings.
    • Of course, people's experiences may vary, but I'm afraid I can't recommend the DMC on Crystal Palace Rd.
    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
