Planning your road trip
There is nothing that my husband likes more than a road trip, we actually all do. We pack the car full (and I mean full!!! If you passed us the road you would definitely stop and stare!). We charge the kids ipads and, of course, we take a whole lot of food. As we all know, as soon as you are five minutes down the road I will hear the familiar cry of ‘Mummy I’m hungry!’ We take colours and books and, not forgetting, our favourite teddies to snuggle up with when we get tired.
Whilst I am in charge of packing all the essentials for our road trip my lovely Man is in charge of prepping the car. This is probably something we never did before we had kids. We all know pre-kids you are a little more careless and you throw caution to the wind. You certainly don’t worry so much about tyres or car maintenance. Yet now we are carrying extra precious cargo well, we need to make sure we are travelling safely and, more importantly, equipped for our journey ahead! The tyre pressure, the tread and also the terrain we will be driving on are all important factors we need to keep in mind, not to mention the potential weather conditions.
We also ensure that we have the journey fully planned out. Although sometimes we may go off route to stop at a little park or take some photographs, we have a good idea of where we are going and what to expect.
Which UK Drive suits your lifestyle and what are the best tyres for the job?’
I was sent this infographic to share with my readers. It poses the question ‘Which UK Drive suits your lifestyle and what are the best tyres for the job?’. I tried to figure out which one we would fit under but I actually think we cover them all!! I will be printing this one out to stick on the fridge as, knowing my husband, he will be wanting to try out all the different routes and with the help of TyrePlus I will rest assured he makes sure our tyres are up to the job!

I love a road trip and thankfully my girls seem to like it too. I also leave all the car stuff to my husband, as I have no idea about it all x
Our poor car is on its last legs (or wheels) – I don’t drive so all of this is up to my hubby to take care of. The car really needs some TLC and we are off camping next weekend!
We love a road trip! But these ideas are great!
I do love a good road trip! Our current car isn’t quite up to the job anymore but we’re hoping to buy a new one after baby comes in July. Then we can start planning family road trips again…with a baby!
I think we would probably be the sightseer as we travel a lot in the U.K. and actually driving the best part of 1000 miles down to the South of France as I write this! Although if I ever had the luxury of some me only time I quote fancy myself as a photographer! Xx
