Where we live isn't a tourist destination, but the towns north and south of us are.

We rarely leave town from November to March, because the main roads are a nightmare!

Top that off with several "music festivals".......... arrrrrrrrrgh :-( :-( and the "Mardi Grass"....... I did spell that correctly........... look on the internet for Nimbin!

we live just off the dreaded A 21 , summer weekends are a nightmere trying to get anywhere, it takes us up to 10 minutes to get across it (in a car). :-( :-(

Most people live within striking distance of some 'tourist' place.

But without the tourists in the summer many places just would not survive.

Well, we left my house, and the M3 going South was at a standstill.
Got to the A34, and there were queues going South on that road. Then a gap - then a very recent accident, (just a few shunted cars) so goodness knows how long the tail back went

We ended up (via a pub for refreshments) going on virtually empty roads to the canal by the Crofton Beam Engine in Great Bedwyn.
Saw a couple of Red Kites, and watched swallows flitting around.

Next weekend there's a Steaming weekend so we may go there again.

Foggy,
We usually come back from the Forest the Romsey way. Burley is nice, but friend and I usually go for long strolls across the Forest looking out for newts, snakes, Dartford Warblers and evidence of nuthatches etc, then drive to the Royal Oak at Fritham.
Friend was brought up in Brockenhurst, but lives in Marchwood now, and can see the traffic heading south/west on his way to pick me up. I lived in Fawley for a few formative years - and found out 40 years after leaving the place that my ancestors had lived there for decades!!
