What is the fastest way to get to Bowness-on-Solway from Carlisle or vice versa?
The fastest way is to drive your car or hire a taxi from Carlisle. Here are a few of our thoughts which we would like to share with you.
When we go on holiday, we prefer to book a train for our long journey and use taxis for local trips. It is because the local taxi drivers have extensive knowledge about the local geographical area. They know the quickest routes which no navigator can show you on your devices. For instance, if you ask Google to navigate you from Carlisle Cricket Club to Pennine way in Harraby, Google will show the route as follows:
- Follow the road to Hardwick circus.
- At the roundabout, take the third exit and stay on the right lane.
- Follow the road to Spencer street.
- Take a right turn on Warwick road and be on the left lane.
- Follow the road on to the Crescent.
- Take a left turn on to Botchergate.
- Follow the road for 1.5 miles
- Be prepared to take a left turn on the Eastern way.
- Take a right turn on to Arnside road.
- Be prepared to take a left turn on the Pennine Way.
- You have reached your destination on the left or right.
But the local taxi driver will follow the same route. They will follow step 1, 2, 3, eliminate step 4, 5, 6 and then continue with step 7 to 11. What they do is take you straight after step 3 going directly from Spencer Street to Tait street which joins Botchergate. So, whom do we trust more?
Hiring a taxi can help you save time, plan well and enjoy your holiday. There are two kinds of holidays which you can opt for in simple terms. 1. Real Holiday and 2. Budget Holiday.
Real Holiday - The whole holiday is planned and budgeted much in advance. There is a contingency plan taken into consideration. Most of our customer prefer this kind of holiday. Let us explain this with an example.
Our taxi driver picked up a family from Carlisle to drive them to Newcastle Airport. Luckily, the family had left a few hours earlier to the airport. Unfortunately, when our taxi reached Hexam, they remembered that they have forgotten to pick up their passports. So the driver had to drive back all the way back to Carlisle and continue the journey to the airport again. Though they had to pay extra for the taxi for their mistake, yet we appreciated that the customers did not show any signs of frustration, fretting, grumpy face or nasty at our driver for their error. How many of us have this kind of Qualities? These are the signs of good planning and not the signs of people with loads of money.
Budgeted Holiday - This just takes a holiday for change of environment without much care or due consideration to planning and having a restricted budget.
