Here’s how to win the ultimate impulsive road trip

Not all getaways need to be booked months in advance. In fact, some of the best ones are the off-the-cuff, throw-caution-to-the-wind types. There’s something thrilling about spontaneity – which is why we’ve teamed up with Škoda to give one lucky winner the chance to embark on a spontaneous road trip.

Where to, you ask? We’ll be sending our winner (and three friends) to the stunning Lake District National Park from May 2-4, 2025. You could stay for two nights at the four-star Langdale Hotel, surrounded by gorgeous scenery and incredible walking trails. This luxurious hotel offers endless ways to recharge and relax (dip in the spa pool, anyone?). The competition also includes a guided kayaking tour, a Steam Yacht Gondola cruise for four people, and a self-guided audio tour of Lake District of Ambleside, Keswick and Ullswater. Naturally there’ll be breakfast and dinner in the hotel’s restaurant for the duration of your stay – as well as £250 spending money! 

The drive there will be just as spectacular. You can bet on any Lake District journey to involve sweeping mountain vistas, misty views over shimmering water and lush greenery. And for this journey, you’ll be in the new all-electric Škoda Elroq. This compact SUV is super-spacious inside with 470 litres of luggage, so you can take everything you need – and it has a maximum range of up to 360 miles*, making it perfect for road trips. Its compact size also makes it ideal for urban driving. Win-win! 

To win this Lake District road trip in a Škoda Elroq, simply enter your details in the form below, and answer the question: What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done? The competition will end on April 27, and you’ll need to be available to hit the road for your getaway on Friday, May 2. Good luck!
