A Drive

Introduction

I don't normally say anything in my thoughtpieces, but with this subject, I feel I need to clarify. The image is available here.

I find driving stressful in traffic, having to find parking, maintenance and almost everything to do with it.

To enjoy a drive, I need to be on a wide open road with no other traffic, maybe no other human presence. The only place I can do that in the British Isles is far north of Edinburgh in Scotland, maybe two hundred miles away. Now I have said that I can write.

A Drive

To be on the road in a fast car, with a friend or alone, speeding through the landscape like you are flying, the road opens up in front of you and trails behind you, you have not a care in the world.

Look at the mountains, rising high and snow-covered, passing lakes, rivers and lochs, as you travel north, not knowing what wonders you might find.

You are the only ones on the road, enjoying the freedom it gives you, open the windows, feel the wind as you speed along the winding road.

This is what every road trip should be like .....
