Mizmazzle’s Trip Across the Pond

[endo]

perhaps some of this, this and this

[Mizmazzle]

@endo hell yes!!

[Tago Mago]

@Mizmazzle what is your plan for England?

[Mizmazzle]

@Tago-Mago well, we have some friends who are from Devon/ Exeter area. They are pretty much mapping out that leg of our trip for us. Headed to Gosport of course to say “Cheerio” to the blokes.

Our friends have a boat so we plan to do some fishing and tour the south coast some. Those are the only plans for England I’m privy to at the moment.

Form a flotilla with HMS Sakura!

Scotland is pretty massive, so it'll help to know where you'll be, but if you're near Edinburgh and feel like going a little north to Dunkeld, you won't want to miss this fantastic little village. Stay at the Taybank hotel, and enjoy the beer garden and some killer pizza (and other goodies) on the river bank. Absolutely magical.

So excited for you and Morgan! This is a dream trip for our family and we are wanting to do it in the next few years. Can’t wait to see what you guys do and take many notes. And @endo what a resource!! Ok if I save them too?

[Mizmazzle]

Just learned Cheerio means goodbye and not hello…

@seawolf thanks bro!! That’s a solid rec!!

[mclaincausey]

@Mizmazzle and here I thought it was a cereal the whole time

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle we stayed there for only one night, and I wish it were way more. There also a pub on the ground level of the hotel, and a killer whisky shop around the corner with tons of rare finds.

If your in Edinburgh visit this place for a feed

[Denman John]

I recon that you need to find a good tattoo studio and pick yourself up a souvenir.

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf that sounds like a great spot for a night or two!

@Brian oh bra! Scotland is looking better and better by the minute.

If you're interested in learning and hearing a bit of traditional music in a few bars with a few pints I'd definitely do this again if I was in Dublin. https://www.musicalpubcrawl.com/

Also had a great time getting out to dun Aonghasa on inishmore, visiting the cliffs of moher, going to newgrange and knowth, and driving around the dingle peninsula. Some great seafood there too if out of the blue is still there.

I'm from Scotland, I really love up North (I'm in Glasgow, so city life...) I always travel to Aviemore to see Thunder in The Glen (motorbike tour thing) around August
Aviemore is one of my favourite places in Scotland as it's somewhat out the way, the Cairngorms are beautiful too and the landscapes. Could visit some "lochs" too (lakes)

[Mizmazzle]

@Denman-John you and I are 100% cut from the same cloth!!

Maybe four leaf clover on the neck??

[Mizmazzle]

@pechelman hell yeah dude. I’m going to look into this!

[ManiacLachy]

Oh this is an itinerary on our to-do list as well. Definitely going to follow along on your journey with interest.

Dishoom is not to be missed in Edinburgh if you’re looking for a great Indian meal. They have about a dozen locations across the UK (3 in London, if I’m not mistaken), but the one is Edinburgh is very special. Get the black dal.

Mother India is also an option (enjoyed this when my Uncle was still living in Scotland - I think it was the Edinburgh one but can’t quite remember). There’s one in Glasgow too but it looks like it’s had a fire recently.

Also, if you find yourself in Glasgow and want something a bit different, The Palm Tree Kitchen is a cool Yemeni restaurant on Bridge Street (again discovered by my uncle - sadly he’s moved to East Yorkshire, so a return visit looks unlikely).

Obviously lots of options if you find yourself in London at any point (and probably no shortage of forum members who’d be up for meeting you).
