I want to visit all the Heritage Sites, All the Sacred Sites, All the libraries and Genealogy storage places available in the United Kingdom....tall order.
Starting simply with 'where to actually start'. Obviously I am in the North of England currently so I will physically start from here in sunny St Helens, but the journey, logged and recorded and faithfully photographed and video and media posted needs to have a true beginning.
The weather is also in need of being taken into consideration, I truly don't want to be too far from safety and comfort and emergency help in the middle of an ice storm or a vile weather moment so for me, starting in winter has to be an off the scale but necessary evil. I can 'do' the south of England in winter to enable me to be in tougher routes through Scotland and the Hebredes in summer. That means I will miss the gorgeous Devon Spring unless I can angle my routes from East to West starting in October and working my way down from Norlfolk through London and down into the nether regions of the south,a cross Gosport and Brighton and so on into Cornwall around February and up into Devon for March...that seems the most likely route..............
But of course i also need to get the lists of decent places to park...oh heck its a bit of a tangle to untangle.
Never the less it has begun, I doubt the ways I need to go will be easy to plan from the parking to the places and where to restock for fuel and food its all in need of lists, research and then dovetailing together ...I will get there but what a task .
starting today the plan itself is begun, next will be printing it all off and deciding, so out will come all the touristy stuff and the route planners and..........I guess I am just beginning to realise how much this part of my journey, the planning stage, is every bit as exciting as the reality of setting off.
So I am off to Google it...all of it.....
