    Also, don't be alarmed when the drinking water is a little brown in Scotland. It's just the peat, and it's harmless. Speaking of peat, if you're into whisky (or gin) skip the big-name distilleries and try to find some of the smaller ones. You won't be disappointed. By the time you get there, Edinburgh Gin will likely have moved to a new swanky location, but I imagine they're still worth a visit. When I went to their old location, they were in a basement making their entire supply on two tiny little stills, but the gin is fantastic.

              London is overrated. I would give it a miss 😉

                I have no recommendations but I’m so stoked for you. I’m not sure I’d like a trip away from home for that amount of time, but you are going to experience so much and get rid of the jet lag and live it up.

                  I've been to London and surrounding area maybe 20 times. There's still things I would like to go back and do.

                    I lived in London for 20 years, I'm happy to never go back 🙂

                      I worked in London for 10plus years lived there for a few as the commute each day got tiresome
                      Was so happy when I moved to Manchester

                        If you were to include Wales in your trip, (if you are visiting the UK, pity to miss out a quarter of it!!) Hiut jeans have a factory / factory shop in Cardigan. (Good back story to the company if you like that sort of thing)

                            In Ireland, I recommend Nancy’s pub in Ardara. Think we went there 3x in 3-4 days, best memories of the trip. And get yourself a hand knit sweater if you don’t have one.

                                        The NC500 looks very interesting.

                                        Also, just discovered the West Highland Way for a, 8 day hike....looks right up our alley!

                                          There is an excellent Wetherspoons on Gosport High Street, as I suspect many forum members will attest

                                          The devil is in the detail..
