England, Wales and Scotland in winter A road trip This is the second trip to the island within a few months. I tried again to write down a short summary of each trip and also to record the GPS tracks. Both have small gaps. (the english-language content here is auto-translated, until I find the time […]
Day 1, 11. Januar The first day was completely unspectacular: getting up early to be on time at the ferry in Dunkirk (12 noon). Check-in was easy, but both the people at the ticket booth and the customs have overlooked the large boxes that I had on the Landydach. That made the whole load much […]
Day 2, January 12 The next morning, the whole pub family was already busy with wheel loaders, excavators, and tractors to clear away rubbish and rubbish. Well, it was time to get up anyway. It was very comfortable towards Bristol. Around 4 pm I arrived at the gallery. By the time I packed everything, it […]
Day 3, January 13 I realized that my packing was not optimal. Slowly it turns out, what I have forgotten and what is too much. From Bristol I drove northwest to Wales. About small roads to the place I had discovered the last time, right at the foot of the Breaken Beacons. It is a […]

Day 5, January 15 A shower! I took a shower. The water was not as hot as I would have liked, but it was fine. Continue on small roads, rough northeast direction. On the map I see that a small path leads around a hill very nicely. Since it’s already time for a coffee next, […]
Day 6, January 16 I am awakened by the noise of the construction site vehicles that are piling up the road here to lay a new water pipe. I have breakfast and drive towards the Peak District. A former colleague lives not far from there and we said that I will come to them in […]
Day 7, January 17 After a hearty breakfast and a tour of the garden, the rest of the day was a drive day. Pretty close to sunset, I found a wonderful beach area about 20 minutes north of Newcastle. It had snowed, the streets were partly white. Somewhere in passing I saw a Swiss bull, […]
Day 8, January 18 In the morning I took a lot of time. It was just too nice not to go for a walk and did not drive until eleven. Continue along the coast. Early on I wanted to find a good place to solve my duck problem. A few days ago, I could not […]
