Monday was one of those days that I got completely and utterly wrong and I was very annoyed at myself. All I had to do was drive from York to Blandford Forum in Dorset. In my head it was a simple journey, not somewhere I had been before but not a complicated place to get to especially as I have a good sense of direction and rough idea how long it would take to get to anywhere in this country. I even checked it on Google Maps and it seemed so easy, a 4 hour drive down to Bath, turn left and a couple of miles down the road.
It took 5 hours to get to Bath. I think it was combination of that Monday morning chaos and the fact that a couple of cars had tipped themselves upside down. Cars don't look so good upside down, very ineffective way of driving and tend to get in the way. the big problem was the second stage of the journey, turn left and it's a couple of miles down the road turned out to be 80 miles cross country. Don't know what I was thinking but it made for another 2 hours driving and a very sleepy me. It became a bit more obvious when I zoomed out on the Sat-Nav (yes I had the Sat-Nav on all this and would not believe what it was telling me) and found that the English channel was only 15 miles away! I was actually closer to France than I was to my hotel for the night, Mad!!
By the time I got home on Tuesday I was shattered.
