Northern England/Southern Scotland
There is not a site for Windemere in northern England, so I will include that here too. Edinburgh is just north of England (which is, duh, southern Scotland) and is very worthwhile. It is a beautiful place with seemingly thousands of pubs, friendly people... more - travel report by

Too big for only a few words..
London started on a swamp and was infested by mosquitoes, yet these few hundred years ago, who would have thought that this trading post would become one of the major cities in the world. London is the heart of where one can experience the begining of Eur... more - travel report by

Snowdonia, the 3,000 footers, walkers’ interest....
The 14/15 peaks walk is often treated as a challenge or sponsored walk. The record is the sort of ridiculous figure that only a trained athlete could achieve – a different species as far as I’m concerned. I did the walk with two friends with no thoughts o... more - travel report by

Whitby for the unpretentious goth
The Esk runs into the North Sea at the town of Whitby, which held a Christian synod in 664. The town itself is small, and its streets quite steep in places, but Whitby is definitely worth the effort of walking around it. The people are generally friendly,... more - travel report by

England's Lovely Lakeland
Most people from countries with far higher mountains and far, far larger lakes, who go to the Lake District, come away impressed with what they have seen. There’s plenty of variety in what to see. Historically that ranges from Castlerigg Stone Circle, thr... more - travel report by

Bristol has less rain than expected, more mean and steepy hills than necessary :-) is a good place to hang out at day and night time (ok, Bristol is in England, so it is expensive and most of the pubs close at 11 p.m.) more - travel report by

From Poolewe to Ullapool [photos later if poss]
Ullapool is a place that appeals as soon as you see it. Unlike other places on the northwest coast of Scotland, it offers a choice of shops, restaurants and pubs, all without having spoilt its village-like character. Calmac run a car ferry to Stornoway on... more - travel report by
