Wendy, Devon from Scotland [you dont say where] is a hike. Can you not break the journey? Your not going to complete that trip during night time hours alone.

Fallenangel, is your hubby happy with the concept of driving over night? If he is not used to night driving it is all too easy to loose concentration as tiredness and boredom kick in on what is quite a boring journey (mostly M6 and M5). You don't say when you have the trip planned but I'd like to suggest a very early morning start about 1 1/2 hours before dawn. That will give you a good start in the dark and get you past Birmingham (or Bristol if it's in summer) before traffic builds up to manic levels. I did (with caravan) Bradford to Cornwall last September. Set off at 4:30am Saturday morning and arrived at 11:00. A nice and easy run between 50 and 60mph all the way to Bodmin. The only interruptions were toilet and fuel stops.
