Friday, an old friend emailed me. He was stuck with three spare tickets to Monty Python's live performances in London this July, and did I want to go? Did I ever! By Monday night, two other friends had taken tickets too so we'll be having a jolly good time in London July 3-6. But going to London got me thinking that I couldn't waste a perfectly good plane ticket on such a short trip, so I went ahead and planned two weeks on the road in addition.
So here it is for your bemusal; my itinerary for England/Scotland in July:
July 3-6: London.
July 7: Driving from London up to Carlisle, on the Scottish border.
July 8: Maybe a quick detour to Caerlaverock Castle, before heading up to Stirling.
July 8-11: Stirling. I'll be doing Stirling Castle, Bannockburn, Castle Campbell,etc.
July 11: Driving to Oban. Doing Doune Castle and Dunstaffnage.
July 12: Going up to Inverness by way of Fort William. Ben Nevis, Urquhart Castle, Culloden.
July 13: Driving down to Inverurie, not far from Aberdeen. Probably doing assorted things and bits around Aberdeenshire.
July 14: See the above post. Driving to Pitlochry.
July 15-16: Staying in Pitlochry, seeing some stuff in Perthshire.
July 16-17: Driving to the English city of Lincoln.
July 17-18: Staying in Lincoln. Seeing the castle, the cathedral, etc.
July 18-20: Going to Bury St Edmunds. Trip to the archaeological field at Sutton Hoo.
July 20: Driving down to Gatwick to fly home. Heart rendering scenes of desperate farewells with ole' blighty.
