Default FAO all Northern Goons - advice needed pls



Im driving up to Lancs this weekend and am looking for somewhere nice to stop over the night at. The missus is in tow (shut it Lorenzo!) so has to be somewhere nice.

The route we're coming along once we're off the M1.. takes us past Brum on the M6 past Stoke on trent, in between Manchester and Liverpool.. up to just past blackpool and preston.

Can anyone reccomend some nice towns / vilages to look in to ? with nice hotels too?

Chester has been mentioned?

cheers

Dave

(also , is Martin Hadland near the M6 at all? )

Southport is a nice place to pass by.

Sorry to everyone who didn't get picked - especially Martin cos personally I'd have loved to see that go round, but it's road cars with load legal tyres only.

If we get a few extra places come up I'll be back on here letting you know.

Dave,

If your goint to Poulton le Flid then I assume you will be M6 onto M55 towards Blackpool? If so, just as you get off the M6 onto the M55, if you come off at junction 2 (immediattely after you get onto the M55) there is a Travel Lodge type thing on the left or a Mariott Hotel on the right after you go under the motorway.

Obviously the Travel Lodge effort will be cheaper. The Marriott ranges from about £78 to £164.

If you want something closer to the city centre, let me know and I'll see if I can find something....
