Day 45: Travelling from Ayr to Warrington
Started the day with some excitement in just trying to find our way out of Ayr.
This was complicated by the fact we had to get fuel which meant we had to navigate our way around the
giant “roundabout” in the centre of town...... twice. This was followed by several
other roundabouts and narrow streets but eventually we were on our way. Along the A70 and A76
to Carronbridge, bypassing Dumfries and then onto the A74/ M74.

| Couldn't quite figure out what this actually is??? |

| We are loving the flower baskets. |
 |
| Great charaterful villages |
 |
| The wooded B roads are the best. |
This eventually took us onto the M6 and on to Claire and Norman’s in
Warrington. Sounds easy, this didn’t include the occasional internal waterfall
we got along the way when the rain became almost a solid wall.
Stopped near Carlisle for a cup of tea and short walk. Stopped again
near Lancaster for petrol and a bite to eat. We got lost in the truck stop (service centre) and
finished up going the wrong way around and parking with the trucks, truckies
thought it was pretty amusing, it obviously happens a lot. Back on the motorway
for the last leg, once again we got caught in an almost solid wall of water but
survived, arriving in Warrington to fitful sunshine. The Speed 20 did really well given the appauling weather conditions.
