Who knows?The route down was nothing to writehome about as it was the A350nearly all the way, but the sun wasout, the roads were dry andsurprisingly not a lot of traffic aboutbut that did not stop us getting splitup on several occasions, god knowswhy – but then that’s another story. Ichose this route as if we wanted tomake the most of our time inBlandford we needed to be on campnot long after opening time, which(somehow) we managed.
