Day 8, transfer to Milton Keynes

Friday 26th was another transfer day. Some great roads and scenery during the first part. There we drove through Snowdonia once more. The rest was mainly highways and road work. We tried to avoid Birmingham by going via Kidderminster. We had lunch at a service station along the way.

We’d picked a hotel near Silverstone that had good reviews on TripAdvisor. De Vere Horwood Estate (https://www.phcompany.com/de-vere/horwood-estate/). It turned out to be a mistake. We got a room far away from the reception, restaurant and bar. So far away that the WiFi wasn’t working in the room even. We had to go to the bar to connect to the rest of the world. During the check-in, we found out that there was a wedding party going on as well. We’d booked the hotel mainly to have somewhere to sleep near Silverstone. This turned out to be very hard. The room was very poorly isolated from the corridor. Which ment that we got woken up several times during the night by people in the corridor.
