This is the suggested  drive out/ drive home route… 3:30ish

We could even stop at the Navigation inn (http://www.navigationinn.co.uk) for Tea? D on the route

heading home it will add 30 mins to the NW journey (maybe you've had enough driving and don't want to do this?)

Clicky for Route

It will take us through Winnats Pass…
