I was asked this but have not been up there for a while.

What interesting things can I point out to some kids (12 - 18) on the M6 between Carlisle and Stoke?

Anyone have ideas - I mentioned the cloud factory at Haydock

Hassall Green Bottom Lock on the Trent and Mersey Canal, just south of Sandbach on the left.

There’s a row of houses painted like Balamory as you go through the hills.
Maybe stop at Westmorland services, decent free playground there, ducks, etc.

Thelwell viaduct?

I take kids from Carlisle to Eastbourne every Christmas and I ended up giving up and got a car DVD setup in the end! I’m not sure I could occupy them with landmarks alone.

You could just play ‘count the middle lane hogger.’ I tried it once but lost count early in the 1000’s.

I broke down once at jct 25 and stood under the bridge just after the slip road,tell em that.

Chloroform?

“Here, does this hanky smell funny to you”?

Play Mobile Phone Cricket-1 run for a quick glance, 4 runs for actually being on the phone, 6 runs for texting & your out when you see a Fuzz Car.

the most interesting thing there going to see is…EXIT J 15 ONE MILE AHEAD…
assuming they were sleeping when you missed J 16

Car snooker. First you gotta get a white, then a red, then yellow etc.
Wait for the arguments over brown and the long pause for the pink
