Youtube offered me this yesterday and I enjoyed it:
Nice one @Gavster. I had no idea so many service areas had nice bits out the back. Also, well done including a slightly lingering shot of the Caterfield.

Thanks for sharing Simon, glad to hear you enjoyed it too it was good fun to make and cool to have a bit of an adventure. Someone in the comments suggested I go to the 10 worst rated service stations next

I've stopped at Donno services a few times over the years, it's not bad at all. Never thought to look out the back of it though.
Gloucester services similar - those sausage rolls (I assume similar across all that chain)? Two of them is definitely a bit much, I got hot ones, ooh, so much grease. Couldn't finish two.
Good vid!

I bought one of these a few months ago. I’ve always liked that viewing tower.

I’m sure 10 worst is better for views. Was wondering if this one might go viral for you though.

My dad always stopped at Killington Lake if we were ever heading North-South (or vice versa)

That’s where I stopped to put my roof up on the way home from seeing you last year.

Cheers Dunc It made me realise how the most tenuous premise can still make a really enjoyable road trip
