England & Wales

[kmusser]

This is an early warning for you blokes across the water. zammis and I are headed over. Our tentative schedule:

September 22
zammis and her father arrive in London and spend 5 days terrorizing the locals.

September 26
I arrive in Manchester at the crack of dawn and pick up a car so that I can scare people by driving on the wrong side of the road. Will hopefully meet up with stealthmunchkin at some point. I'll meet zammis in Chester.

September 27-29
Explore Chester and Northern Wales - especially Snowdonia.

September 30
Drive through Central Wales to Cardiff.

October 1-2
See stuff in Southern Wales including Cardiff, Hay-on-Wye (mmmm, books), and Tintern Abbey.

October 3-4
Travel back into England and see stuff in Somerset, including Wells and Glastonbury, and many cideries. Staying in Cheddar, land of cheese.

October 5
Stop to see Avebury on our way back to London and then home.

I look forward to hearing about Wales.
My mother's family is from Wales - and Gerry and I hope to visit in a year or two.

If you're at all interested in ruined castles, Chepstow Castle is a very worthwhile short side-trip from Tintern Abbey. It's the oldest surviving stone castle in Britain (construction started in 1067). As an added bonus, it's got some vey nice reconstructions of medieval siege weapons.

Have a pint of Brains SA for me while you're in Cardiff :)
