Cardiff to Newcastle not a long journey

Set off for Geordie land friday morning, daughter in back of car loaded down with books iplayer etc, warned her it was a really long journey. Prepared for the inevitable are we nearly there yet, how far, i'm so bored. She fell asleep before we even got to the motorway, woke up when we saw the first sign for The North. Looked at us with the look only a 13 year old can and said honestly the fuss you make about a little away trip, its not far at all.

317 miles

5hrs and 37 mins!

thats a f*cking long way to me! and im a HGV driver!

Much easier to be a kid snoozing all that way in the back; reality check on the way home mind

we got there in about 5 hours in my saxo!

Got onto the M4 by 8 and arrived and the hotel at 1:10 (including a 20 minute stop at Nottingham services, and getting petrol on the A1)

Not a bad journey at all

Left Tonypandy at 10.30, arrived outside ground at 5.15, safely tucked up back in bed back in Pandy at 3.20

Never again (in a car at least!!!)
