Ian is embarking on a work trip to Warrington to undergo an audit. He wakes up early and packs, before being dropped off on the promenade to take photos before picking up his car. He uses his phone as there is no sat nav in the car, and sets off for Warrington via Fotheringhay Castle, the former imprisonment and execution site of Mary Queen of Scots, which was the parish church of the House of York. He then visits the church in Titchmarsh, and finally arrives at his friend Teresa’s house in St Helens (close to Warrington).
Ian meets with his friend for an hour before receiving a call advising him to get to the hotel (golf resort) where he will be staying before the snow gets too heavy. He eventually makes it to the hotel, although the final mile is very treacherous due to the snow-covered roads, and the fuel warning light comes on.
The trip is filled with interesting stories of the places he visits and the people he meets along the way. Despite his apprehension about being audited, Ian is ready for whatever comes his way as he travels across the UK.
