Road trips: questions and Band 8 answers

Yes, I really do. I find them quite therapeutic because you have the freedom to stop whenever you want. Last summer, a friend and I drove along the coast for a few days, and being able to pull over at quiet beaches was brilliant.

Usually, I go with a couple of close friends or my cousins. We all share similar tastes in music, which is essential when you're stuck in a car for hours. We took a weekend trip to the Lake District recently, and it was great fun.

Well, if I'm not behind the wheel, I usually listen to podcasts or create playlists for everyone. Sometimes I just gaze out of the window at the scenery. On our last trip, I got through an entire audio series about history while my brother drove.

We did, actually. Every summer holiday, my parents would pack the boot with camping gear and we'd drive down to the south coast. It took about six hours, and my sister and I always used to bicker in the back seat.

Definitely scenic routes, even though they take a bit longer. Motorways are faster, but they can be terribly monotonous. I'd much rather wind through country lanes and small villages, like when we drove through Yorkshire last autumn.

I'd love to drive along the west coast of Scotland one day. I've seen photographs of the rugged mountains and coastal roads, and they look stunning. It's definitely on my travel wishlist for next spring.
