That in less than 48hrs I will be leaving England's fair shores for good. Adam and Jess xx.

Much of the trip was spent climbing, too, and there was a decent amount of snow on the ground for about 20 miles. Any truck driver can tell you this is a barrel of laughs when you are empty. After angling towards ...
