4 Jan 2015. <GB-ENG> Gloucester, Glos ⇒ Poole, Dorset —
Today we finally left Gloucester, bidding a fond farewell to our hosts at Friar Tuck's. Before we left, we booked our passage on the ferry from Poole to Cherbourg at 8:30 tomorrow morning.
The city of Bath spread out below us
Our drive southwards was uneventful — after all, we were covering ground we had driven before — Trowbridge, and Bath, and a few other familiar places. We got down to Poole as it was getting dark, and Suzie noticed a good park in a retail estate about 20 minutes short of the terminal, with a McDonalds to boot. So we parked there and had tea at Maccas. Went to bed, watched a couple of episodes of
Castle, and had an early night, as we needed to be moving by about 5am next day.
Distance driven — today, 112 miles ( 180 km ); to date, 10,140 miles ( 16,319 km )
