trip out yesterday
yesterday was a fantastic day for a blat and and i took full advantage of the sunshine, besides the fact that i was mega-frustrated at the fact that i
spent all morning getting my lambda sensor working! BUT I GOT IT WORKING! 
Gave tim a ring (tybrow) to tell him i was on my way over to him and to plan a route threw the MALVERN HILLS and a few stops at some pubs, so we went
blasting in the brilliant sun some fantastic road and superb scenery and we came to our first stop about 30 minutes in a small village called
Winchcombe.
"great little place" i said, "lets find a pub"
"No No No" says Tim "WE'RE GOING TO THE TEA ROOMS"  WTF!!!!
Anyway we ended up in "Aparently" one the the UK's award winning tea rooms called "Juri's" i just had to take a
photo! as i couldn't believe we were in there drinking tea!!!
 
(steve on the left, tall tim on the right, im taking the photo!)
then Tim showed me the rest of the route, which he had planned threw the COTSWOLDS and not the malverns! (idiot! we did the cotswolds last week!)
needless to say though after we got back on the road we had lots more fun, apart from getting stuck behind a trail of cars being held up by a OAP
driving at 40mph in a 60 zone and most of the road was double white lined 
then we stopped in stow-on-the-wold for a pint and then back to Tims for a BBQ, i think we covers about 100 odd miles again about 160 for me including
getting to tims and home, but i loved every minute of it!
ABSOLUTELY CRACKING DAY!
who wants to come on the next trip?

Just make sure you know where the Malverns are, and were the Cotswolds are! Sitting in a tea shop in a typical Cotswold village, and saying, "I
can't believe we didn't go to the Cotswolds" much to everyones amusement!
It was a great day - the route was just right (apart from the old boy in the Laguna) and we even had another Locost following us for about 10 miles
(turned off at Burford - was it you?).
Next time you can plan the route, but I am sure as hell seeing it before we go...!
