☀️🚌 Not a bad office view today! 🏰🌊

Parked up on the Northumberland Coast with this magnificent castle right in front of us, blue skies overhead and a welcome sea breeze drifting in from the North Sea.

A very different story from yesterday’s trip to Durham where the coach was displaying a rather tropical 38°C outside temperature! 🥵

At one point I wasn’t driving a coach, I was operating Britain’s largest mobile air fryer.

The steering wheel was hotter than the tea urn, the dashboard felt like a pizza oven and every time the doors opened it was like somebody had pointed a giant hairdryer directly at my face.

Today though, the North Sea has stepped in and saved the day.

The passengers are comfortable.
The driver is no longer burnt to a crisp, looking like a lobster or considering a career as a BBQ sausage. 🌭🥵😂

Big Winner the coach has decided against spontaneously combusting or melting to the road.

As for the castle in front of us, it’s stood here for hundreds of years surviving Vikings, invasions, wars and countless North Sea storms.

Yet after yesterday’s 38°C, I reckon even it was thinking:

“Forget the invaders… somebody find me a fan!” 😂

Days like this remind me why I love being out on the road. Fantastic scenery, great passengers and a view that certainly beats staring at four office walls.

🌊 Thank you sea breeze… you’ve probably saved the driver’s life today!

🚧 It’s Not Just the Building Trade That Suffers 🚧

Watching videos like this really hits home.

People often talk about the struggles facing builders, tradespeople and skilled workers, and rightly so. The lack of respect, rising costs, endless paperwork, pressure from regulations and the constant challenge of trying to earn an honest living are very real issues. The construction industry has frequently highlighted concerns around workforce pressures and wellbeing. (Facebook)

But let’s be honest… it’s not just the building trade.

Across the coach, travel and transport industry we’re facing many of the very same challenges.

🚌 Drivers working unsociable hours.
🚌 Family businesses fighting to survive.
🚌 Rising fuel, insurance and operating costs.
🚌 Endless regulations and compliance requirements.
🚌 Staff shortages.
🚌 Customers wanting the best service possible while businesses battle increasing costs behind the scenes.

Whether you’re laying bricks, driving coaches, running a workshop, operating a travel business or keeping vehicles on the road, most of us are simply trying to provide for our families whilst doing a job we care about.

At Hit The Road, we know first-hand that behind every business is a person who is often carrying far more pressure than anyone sees.

So today, a little reminder:

👏 Support local businesses.
👏 Support skilled workers.
👏 Support family-run companies.
👏 And most importantly, support each other.

Because no matter what trade we’re in, we’re all trying to build something better.

🚌❤️

🎉👨‍👧‍👦 HAPPY FATHER’S DAY FROM HIT THE ROAD! 👨‍👦🚌

Today we raise a brew, a bacon butty and possibly a slightly burnt BBQ sausage to all the dads, stepdads, grandads, foster dads, father figures and those legendary blokes who have somehow mastered the art of saying:

“Ask your mother.” 🤣

Here’s to the men who taught us how to ride a bike, change a tyre, hold a torch completely wrong, reverse a trailer with supreme confidence and fix absolutely anything with cable ties, duct tape and a sentence beginning with:

“I’ve got an idea…” 🔧😂

Thank you for the lifts, the laughs, the life lessons, the terrible jokes and for always being there when we needed you most.

To the dads who work long hours, the dads who travel miles, the dads who put family first and the dads who quietly keep everything ticking along behind the scenes – today is for you. ❤️

And let’s be honest, without dads, who would spend three hours looking for a tool that’s been in their hand the entire time? 🤦‍♂️🤣

Whether you’re spending today with family, relaxing in the garden, enjoying a day out or pretending you’re not having a nap in your favourite chair, we hope you have a fantastic Father’s Day.

From all of us at Hit The Road, thank you for everything you do.

🍻 Here’s to the Dads.
🚌 Here’s to the Grandads.
❤️ Here’s to the Father Figures.
👑 And here’s to every family hero who answers to the name Dad.

Happy Father’s Day!

And finally, a special congratulations to all the dads who spent years saying “You’ll understand when you’re older”… only for us to grow up and discover you were actually right about most things! We still don’t like admitting it though. 🤣👏

Remember dads, today is your day… so sit back, relax, put your feet up and enjoy being treated like a king. Normal service will resume tomorrow at 00:01 when you’re once again expected to find things that aren’t lost, fix things that aren’t broken and pay for things you didn’t order! 🤣👑🍻

Happy Father’s Day everyone – and if you’re reading this while hiding in the shed for five minutes of peace and quiet, don’t worry… we won’t tell anyone where you are! 😎🚌😂

🚌👑 Fancy travelling with Hit The Road’s very own King of the Road – CJ? 👑🚌

Well, here’s your chance!

If you’ve ever fancied a holiday filled with stunning scenery, great company, plenty of laughs, terrible dad jokes, random facts you never knew you needed, and the occasional wrong pronunciation that becomes a running joke for the entire week… then jump aboard! 😎

CJ will be behind the wheel on the following Shearings tours during the second half of 2026:

🚌 24 August – Holy Island & The Northumbrian Coast
🚌 31 August – North Devon, Clovelly & RHS Rosemoor

🚢 7 September – Cruising the Danube to Vienna

(Yes, we’re trusting CJ on water again… despite his long and distinguished history of occasionally getting lost in hotel corridors, confusing Seahouses with Sea Horses, and once seriously considering whether Coach 006 needed registering with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. 😆)

The good news is CJ won’t actually be steering the ship.

The bad news is he’ll still be providing commentary, questionable jokes and random facts that nobody asked for.

So if you spot the ship heading towards Switzerland instead of Vienna, don’t panic… CJ has been assured there are actual captains on board keeping an eye on things. 🚢😎🍺

🚌 21 September – Weston-super-Mare, Bristol & Bath
🚌 You could add this under the Titanic Belfast & Giant’s Causeway tour:

🚢 28 September – Titanic Belfast & Giant’s Causeway

(Before anyone asks, CJ has been reminded that this is a sightseeing tour and not a practical Titanic re-enactment. 😆)

Passengers can relax knowing that unlike the Titanic, this trip comes with plenty of tea stops, a professional driver, working sat nav, and significantly more lifeboats than coach seats.

“The only thing going down on this tour will be a few pints and perhaps the occasional slice of hotel cheesecake. CJ has been specifically instructed not to test the Titanic’s turning circle.” 😎🚌🚢🤣

🌊 12 October – St Ives & Scenic Cornwall

🚂 19 October – Whitby, Scarborough & North Yorkshire

What’s Included When Travelling With CJ?

✅ Plenty of laughs
✅ Scenic routes wherever possible
✅ Helpful local commentary
✅ Tea stop recommendations
✅ Questionable singing from the driver’s seat
✅ More dad jokes than should legally be allowed on one coach
✅ The occasional “oops” moment that somehow becomes the tour’s biggest laugh
✅ Random history lessons nobody expected but everyone somehow enjoys
✅ At least one story involving a coach, a passenger and a complete misunderstanding

Whether you’re a regular passenger or joining CJ for the first time, you’re guaranteed a warm welcome, a professional service and a holiday packed with memories.

After all, anyone can drive a coach from A to B…

CJ’s mission is to make sure the journey in between is just as memorable as the destination.

So come along, grab your seat, sit back, relax and let the adventures begin.

Warning: Travelling with CJ may result in excessive laughing, new friendships, a strange desire to book another holiday, and learning completely useless facts that you’ll be repeating to your family for years. 😎🚌👑

🚢🌍 LIMITED AVAILABILITY – LEGER RIVER CRUISES ARE SAILING FAST! 🌍🚢

📢 Attention all lovers of great scenery, fantastic food, and holidays where someone else does all the hard work…

Our Adults-Only River Cruises are proving incredibly popular, and some departures now have very limited availability! ⏳

Imagine waking up to a new view every morning…
🏰 Historic cities
🌷 Stunning gardens
🍷 Local food and drink
🚢 Luxury river cruising
🧳 No airport stress
😌 Relaxed, friendly atmosphere

As your friendly neighbourhood travel expert (and occasional coach driver who knows where all the best cake stops are 🍰🚌), I’d strongly recommend booking sooner rather than later if a river cruise is on your wish list.

⚠️ Once the cabins are gone, they’re gone!
⚠️ Popular departures are already filling quickly!
⚠️ Waiting for “I’ll book it next week” syndrome may result in disappointment!

💗 HIT THE ROAD SUPPORTS ASK FOR ANGELA 💗

Your safety and wellbeing will always be our priority.

Whether you’re travelling with CJ, one of our Hit The Road team, or any of the operators and drivers we work alongside, we want everyone to feel safe, comfortable and supported throughout their journey.

If you’re in a hotel, bar, restaurant, venue, or anywhere displaying the Ask For Angela sign and something doesn’t feel right, simply approach a member of staff and ask:

“Is Angela working today?”

This discreet code phrase lets staff know that you may need help or assistance without drawing attention to the situation.

At Hit The Road, we fully support the Ask For Angela campaign and encourage all our passengers to be aware of it when travelling.

❤️ Travelling with any of our drivers doesn’t just mean getting from A to B.
❤️ It means travelling with people who genuinely care about your safety and wellbeing.
❤️ If you ever need assistance, don’t be afraid to speak to your driver or a member of the team.

Because everyone deserves to feel safe wherever their journey takes them.
