My annual road trip is looming. This is a circuitous route taking in (in trip order) Cardiff, Yeovil, Blandford Forum, Christchurch, Enfield, Warwick, Melton Mowbray, Doncaster and Hull, for the purpose of inspecting properties owned by an overseas client. Doing it over three days and two nights with expected mileage over 750.
Overnight in Yeovil and Warwick. Will probably meet my son between Warwick and Birmingham that evening (he will be at university), but does anyone live near Yeovil?? Recommendations for what to do on a dark November Sunday evening, where to eat etc?

At least this is not a travelling salesman type problem for the optimum order to visit locations. It's a loop in one direction or the other.

On a dark November Sunday evening, pretty much the whole of Somerset will be shut. Take a good book. 😕

Yes, it's one big, slightly oddly shaped loop - with a tail to pull going to Enfield.
Last year I was meant to stay in Bournemouth, near to a health club we are members of. But I made good progress (and going in the opposite direction) I inspected Blandford Forum before staying in Yeovil. If I didn't have inspection notes to write up, there was nothing to do....

We know about Crewe, we know it exists, but we do try to forget about it as much as possible. There is now, thankfully, a by-pass... 😬
Oh, and I did spend two years living in rural Somerset a long time ago, but I'm alright now...
