Day 198 - Gravesend - Leeds, Yorkshire, England
Day 198 – 23rd December 2005 GMT Total Miles 45098
Did not wake up until just after 8am today, so Jill and I got organised and packed our bags again and took the car and set of around the M25, which we had only done 20 miles and we were stationary. The M11 had been closed at Junction 5 and they closed the M25 whilst they coned off the intersection. There was also a crash on the opposite side of the road, so the start of the Journey was horrendous. We eventually got onto the M1 and stopped off at Dunstable to visit my old work colleague Martin, who’s wife just had there second child on 15th December and named him Jack.

Martin, Abi and Jack
We stopped in for a cup of tea and to see Jack, who is adorable. We chatted for an hour or so and then got back on the road and drove all the way up the M1 until we reached Leeds. We found my brothers house on the outskirts of Leeds and arrived just before 6pm.
Tim and Sophie (My Brother and Sister-In-Law)
We caught up and had a drink and some Chilli and watched a film chatted some more and then slept.
