UK summary

We had a great eight weeks and saw some amazing scenery.

Weather was mostly good and even sunny in Scotland which is known for rain and drizzle. A few days rain halted our activities. Most days it was jeans especially early in the day and it was warmer late afternoons.

All up English weather, grey skies ! but certainty in our fovour.

The roads off the main connecting roads consisted of heaps of narrow lanes hedging and stone walls. difficult driving.

20 zones were common in small towns

What we loved most was

stone bridges

amazing scenery and green landscapes

stone walls everywhere

sheep wandered everywhere even on roads

Accomodation was mostly good with a mixture of pubs , Inns B and B’s and self catering units if we had longer stays.

People were very friendly and helpful.

What we didn’t like was

crazy impatient drivers

car parks were expensive

paying for loos

small towns lots of cute lanes but often blocked by parked cars

peas and beans and chips with most food

internet terrible

John hated our hirer car, It had a very small engine and small low profile tyres which on the potholed roads was a issue. however its boot for luggage was good.

We noted

camping areas in abundance on the coast

hikers everywhere

In Whole a amazing scenic trip.
