Drive from Bicester, Oxfordshire to Birmingham - M40, M42

[@phillipbateman2284]

The M40, always a treat. I must admit to succumbing to the pleasure of nodding off for the first time on the M40, something my wife and daughter were quite good at. My excuse is we'd spent the afternoon driving around checking the known trees while foraging for walnuts and chestnuts. We found half a potato sacks worth of walnuts, but only a handful of half grown chestnuts, about a month too early I reckon . With the changes in the weather we've been having, it was good to check anyway. So when I awoke and realized what had happened, I started from the beginning and watched it all, just in case something out of the ordinary had happened, or you'd added a questionnaire or quiz. I was surprised at how dark it seemed to have gotten over the trip, and like last trip, snow still around. Thanks very much for the well needed nap. Take care.

Haha, happy to help . Nodding off on the M40 is always a win!

This is what I need. I am planning a trip from Reading to south west of Birmingham and want to stop at Bicester for some rest during the journey.

Stopping off to do some shopping at Bicester Village?
