| A short photo description of Britains only toll-road Service Area.
Only opened in January 2004, it baosts full service facilities: Wimpy, Restaurant, Coffee Shop, Shop, Arcade, a travel hotel, and "Massager Chairs". Not forgetting the loos, of course...... I had spent the night there following the SABRE Awayday & AGM, and these photos were taken on misty Sunday morning following a thunderstorm the night before. |
