I'm a Canadian who has been living in Manchester for about 5 years now and I'm wondering if there is some kind of organisations that lets you set up random road trips. There's a lot to see in England but it seems you need a car to see some of them. (70 million people living on a postage stamp and you still need a car?!) Anyway, where I'm from, the spirit of the road trip is that you pile three or more people into a car, split costs filling up the tank and just go somewhere random to see a site. It's successful if people are generally content with whatever they see and just have a good time. I know that a lot of people who have cars would never venture out on a road trip because they wouldn't do it alone. And people like me who don't have one sometimes can't go even if they wanted to. And if there's stuff to see within shooting distance of Manchester... then there MUST be a newsgroup, a bulletin board or something that already does this. Anyone know of what that might be?
