Hi all,
Me and my mate have decided that tonight when i finish work (7.30) we are driving to Loch Ness, can anyone recommend things to see or do whilst there (other than find and capture the loch ness monster, train it into a performing circus act, pack up work and go on tour)?
Thanks
Nobby
Also any funny/interesting road trip stories will be appreciated

I wouldn't drive past Yorkshire and all the great lakes/rivers/ roads and scenes just to get to loch ness.
Lake Windermere, Kielder etc all far closer and a nicer place to be :).

Why not drive to the coast, watch the sun come up with your little gay buddy and smoke some good weed- that's a mission to look forward to after finishing work :).

Who said anything about driving stoned? Drive to the coast, get stoned, sit about for hours talking shit, walk to a service station for munchies and a red bull- few more hours chilling and a drive home fit for a sobriety test :).
Driving stoned is a daft idea I agree :).

Dont drive anywhere and spend the money on cider and jager and enjoy your friday night like a bawss..
Just dont shut your mates paito door drunk with your 17 1/2" guns hard drunk and smash it, they cost £250 to replace :(

Cider is for fags who cant handle spirits!
Me, my dad and my bros are going to do a drive down to Monte Carlo end of July, will stop off on the way in france and get photos/vids etc.
We're taking my dad's E90 320d which does upwards of 600 miles to a tank on the motorway which should keep fuel bills in check.
I do love a good road trip.

I did a awesome small road trip with my mates when I had my saxo
Heard news from a buddy of ours living in Devon that there was a house party going on well worth the drive, im pretty sure we headed out around 7 pm (late I know)
After a serious ball ache following one of my mates 30 miles the wrong direction we finally got there, im pretty sure it was Halloween, we got to a little village called paigtonI believe (correct me if im wrong)
Four cars full of welsh piss heads jumped out, the whole house party came out starting on us all before we even spoke a word, they all realised we'd come from wales to attend and reluctantly welcomed us in, the guy whos house it was really didnt want us there aha
