Our Grand Tour
By Catherine Parker Driving down to Chipping Norton from Manchester took us just under 3 hours. Maps took us on the toll road on the M6 to avoid 30 minutes of traffic in the Birmingham congestion. Although, in the van, this is £20 out of pocket for the luxury. As we got closer to our camping site, the villages we drove through were spectacular.
