Car Junkie Detox | Weekends with no motor

Saturday

I never usually use my car much on a Saturday, living right in the town centre I can do most things I need to do on foot.

I went out for lunch with a friend and his baby – We went in his car which we would have done anyway as he had his child seat in the back.

In the evening I went to a BBQ which was about 20 minutes walk from my house, if I had the car I probably would have driven, but it was a lovely evening so I really enjoyed the walk. I was going to walk home but was offered a lift from a fellow bqq-er, which I accepted as it was rather late and dark.

Sunday

Today I was due to go out for lunch with friends in the little village of Chilworth, which is about 5 or 6 miles out of Guildford, I got a friend to pick me up on her way through Guildford, and then we went to a little pub in the other side of town in the afternoon. I had my mother coming over that evening, so got her to pick me up and drive me home on her way through.

Another day reliant on lifts, I don’t think this would be a sustainable long term travel plan!
