Accommodation: Ibis, Coventry South
For the August Bank Holiday, we set off from home after work and dinner on the Friday night, arriving in Coventry fairly late on. The hotel wasn’t at all what we expected, and was more of a motel, with rooms leading straight in to the open air. It was a little like Bates Motel from Psycho, but luckily we weren’t in a room next to the reception.

On Wednesday, we woke up, had our usual full-English breakfast downstairs at the hotel restaurant, got ready for the day and set off on our adventures. On this day, we travelled North to Whitby, through the North Yorkshire Moors, arriving late morning. The moors were beautiful in the morning, it was like driving through a background from Sharpe or Poldark.

Accommodation: The Ben Doran, Edinburgh
Unlike our weekend in Warwick, we left home first thing Friday morning after breakfast, driving for the best part of four hours, arriving around lunch time. After checking in to the Ben Doran guest house, we took the bus straight up to the city centre for some lunch and a walk around.
