We are very excited to be sharing with you our Kwik Fit Nostalgia Lane Memory – if you do too, you could win a £150 Amazon Voucher! Mummy says….’As a child I had many road trips with my parents, as we lived near Manchester and had a holiday caravan in Pembrokeshire. I made this journey from being very young, and still make it today as most of my family remains up North.



My parents moved to Pembrokeshire when I was five years old, and the road trip was made in reverse at least once a year to visit my grandparents.

The route my dad always took was through mid Wales, never the motorway, only at the very beginning or end of our journey, depending which direction we were travelling.

I have travelled this journey for over forty years, as a child, a teen, a woman, a wife, and a mum. I have travelled it during the night, and in the day. In scorching sunshine, torrential rain and snow. It is the first journey I made outside of my home area when I passed my driving test.

It is a stunning drive, the highlight being driving through the mountains in mid Wales. Most of the rest of the way is beautiful too, especially between Builth Wells and Carmarthen. There is another region of mountains here, and the road is narrower and very windy. There is a huge bend right in the middle and a big lay by with stunning views. This is known as the Potty Stop – passed down from my parents, to me, to my children! Yep, it is where, as a tot, my parents would stop every time for me to use my potty!

I first began this journey with my parents bringing along sandwiches and a flask of tea, and we would wind our way through every town centre. I remember it was a real treat to stop at The Little Chef at Builth Wells! I have seen bypasses pop up, along with more and more restaurants and supermarkets. I actually told my daughters that I was pregnant with my eldest son in a Morrisons on the way! (I have no idea why, but I did!) Now, we have our pick of where to stop, and where to eat. The journey is quicker but just as beautiful.

Every time I make this journey, a hundred memories are relived. And I suspect they will for my children too.

So, what is your Kwik Fit Nostalgia Lane Memory? Pop over to the Kwik Fit website to enter, and you could win one of two £150 Amazon Vouchers.
