UK roadtrip Day 1 - Dunfermline to Tadcaster, Yorkshire

We were out of Dunfermline around a quarter past 9 in the morning, heading south to go through the borderland to enter England.



We drove from Dunfermline to Alnwick where Neil went out to terrorize the town (like a good Scotsman!) and Nicci and I went into Alnwick Gardens to take photos. When we'd picked Neil up, we set off to make a quick stop at the Angel of the North (a huge ass metal angel) for a few more pictures. After that we drove off to Harrogate to find the Wetherspoons and have a meal there. Of course we've barely sat down (and we're all tired and cranky) and the fire alarm goes off. *facepalm*

Seems one of the girls working there had used her spray deo and the smoke detector had picked up on it O.o - right-o - we finally go back in to sit, we eat and we drag ourselves south to Tadcaster, right outside York. After the usual faffing about to find the Travelodge (which not for the first time includes a bit of driving around the motorway and its exits) we finally arrived at the Travelodge to crash.
