London - many Places, little time
The best way to get a view of london is to get on the 'London Eye', the World's largest ferris-wheel. From there you could see almost all of london; Buckingham Palace, Harrod's, St. Paul's Cathedral, and as good as everything else. You can also take a boa... more - travel report by

The fortunate Railway City
Didcot is an old city, although it remained a small rural village for hundreds of years. The first settlements are found on the ridge that runs through the city, and during the roman times, the surrounding marshlands was sought dried by a huge ditch, whic... more - travel report by

Solva and parts of ‘Big’ North Pembrokeshire.
I’ve nothing against the popular resorts of Tenby and Saundersfoot, St Govan’s or Caldey Island. I just don’t know them. I should stay north of Milford Haven but I didn’t want to admit the castle at Pembroke itself, a real delight for children and interes... more - travel report by

Plymouth - the first one.
Plymouth was a great place to grow up and I still know nowhere I should prefer. The combination of coast, wooded valleys and moorland within a short distance was all a boy could want. It was formed by the linkage of three towns; Sutton, Stonehouse and Dev... more - travel report by

Wharfedale and tributary dales
Whereas in general ‘dale’ simply means ‘valley’, nobody would refer to the lower stretches of the Wharfe, as it moves towards its junction with the Ouse, as being in ‘Wharfedale’. I shall choose Bolton Bridge on the A59 as a convenient southern start for... more - travel report by

London for the Unpretentious Goth
I spent a week in London on business, so my time wasn't entirely my own, but I did as well as I could in the time I had. If you'll be in London for any real length of time, or will be there multiple times, you might consider getting an unregistered Oyster... more - travel report by

Weekend with the Ironage
Salisbury is only about 2 hours south-west of London, strangely the clouds parted as we left the metropolitan. I hired myself a bicycle and got to see the city and its surroundings. Being from Johannesburg, a city little more than 100 years old, I was ove... more - travel report by

Spiritual Drive to Avebury UK
Take a good map, this is a small village best known for the standing stones surrounding the village, as well as the West Kennet Long Barrow, Silbury Hill ( a temple-like grassed over mound). This is best a day trip with perhaps saying in a larger town lik... more - travel report by
