Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2008.01.07 18:13:00 - [61] My first thought is; Those that were unable to escape. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.01.07 18:57:00 - [62] Originally by: James Swindle Come to Swindon! He could come and see the Railway museum! And the roundabout! Seriously though, if you want cities then your best bets are London, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and maybe York (for the scenery win). If you want country side, Lake District and Peak District are your best bets. If you want quaint little villages that serve tea (and such) you can't go far wrong with Cornwall or Devon. ------ Originally by: CCP Prism X There's no such thing as playing too much EvE!

xBlood The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2008.01.07 19:25:00 - [63] Stay away from town centres, you'll get knifed! True story.
Ararius Earned In Blood	Posted - 2008.01.07 20:46:00 - [64] Thanks for all of the suggestions so far! I havent got a chance to read all of the new ones seeing as I just woke up, and im about to head out with my dad for his Birthday lunch, so ill get back to you all about what I've read. Sometime ill start to make a list of things that seem interesting and see how to get from place to place. . . Damn my lazyness! But thanks to all who've givin ideas and im still welcome for more! (Im going to need all the help I can get to plan/pull this off) And sometime ill let my dad into the fact that for some duration of the trip. . . Im going to be 18
Kalahari Wayrest	Posted - 2008.01.07 21:12:00 - [65] Edited by: Kalahari Wayrest on 07/01/2008 21:25:09 Edited by: Kalahari Wayrest on 07/01/2008 21:17:27 Well I can't give you much information as...despite living here, I haven't seen much of it Personally I prefer Scotland to England but it might be a little out of your way. I'll just describe the bits I've seen or liked or lived in in England I guess, a bit hard to know what to recommend as I don't know what you're looking for If you're able to get up to Scotland - do! Someones mentioned Stone Henge before (think that's in Somerset? It's definately south west somewhere - no Wiltshire) might be disapointing if you expect it to be like the pictures (it's smaller than you might think, and surrounded by road...) but still pretty cool. Glastonbury Torr too...and if you like...rocks on hills there's plenty more here. All the touristy bits in London, obviously. View by open top bus and official london taxis...avoid the tube if you can possibly help it, but if you're travelling any parts via the london underground get a map of it first and plan where you're going - and avoid it like the plague in rush hour. The Isle of Wight is about 2 hours by train out of london + a quick ferry ride (15-20 mins)...it's been billed as a minuature england, which is a lie, it's varied in landscape but is culturally void and very small. There's no excitement or night life but it might be good for holiday makers - it's a bit twee but there are some nice views, old pubs and interesting sites. Where I'm at now is a small out of the way city called Lincoln but it has a Cathedral and Castle right next to eachother for convinience There are also boat rides up the river which is quite cool. New Forest might be good if you like nature. But if you just want the big city tour, here are the biggest cities in England. edit: I think you can have a beer with food from the age of 16 in pubs. That's always what I've thought and put in practice when I was younger but can see no evidence of that on the interwebs But given some of your trip you'll be 18 you'll be fine, especially as you'll have your passport on you anyway for proof of ID __________________________ Indulge Me Consider Yourself Indulged - Immy ♥ Wow immy scored - Xorus

It's in Wiltshire. As are a number of other neolithic...stuffs, if you're in to that kind of thing. Avebury and the West Kennet Long Barrow spring to mind. Wouldn't recommend it unless you're a history/archaeology buff, though, or are in the area. Interesting, but not really interesting enough to warrant a long trip out there. ------ Originally by: CCP Prism X There's no such thing as playing too much EvE! You all obviously need more accounts!
Iva Soreass Personal Vendetta	Posted - 2008.01.07 21:24:00 - [67] Lived in london all my life - Quote: Hackney - LoL don't go to this ****e hole unless you wanna get robbed. Camden Town - If your into your goth stuff then camden is a must, i live near there and it has some of the best retro clothing stuff around. Bring lots of iskies! i mean úúúúúúú cause london is not cheap, trust me i live here!.
Dheorl Rionnag Alba Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.01.07 21:34:00 - [68] Edited by: Dheorl on 07/01/2008 21:34:46 Covent garden to see street theatre (and cos its covent garden and has shops)(depending on what type of food you like there is a grill that does up to 60% off on mondays just off covent garden which is a godsend because of the general price of food there). Also Snowdon is great depending on weather. It's one of the only places where you can see every country in the british isles at once (if you can see through the cloud) so may be a nice place to stop if your doing a tour of the place. There is a train to the top (I hear the rails I great for sledging in winter (don't ask)) or you can be a real man and walk (the pig track route isn't great and the tourist one is very packed but there is one going along one of the ridges that is nice). I'll come up with some more later but those are a few to be thinking about.
Sister Impotentata Elite Angels Of Death	Posted - 2008.01.07 22:23:00 - [69] Originally by: Patch86 Wouldn't recommend it unless you're a history/archaeology buff, though, or are in the area. Interesting, but not really interesting enough to warrant a long trip out there. I know you have many things in the UK, but I would never have guessed "long trips" were one of them. The Henge is practically within walking distance of London, by American standards. Not that we walk anywhere, though. ----- TANSTAAFL Originally by: BB Lazy Lob and Crazy Cob are weaving webs to wind me. I am far more sweet than other meat, but still they cannot find me!
Araxmas An Eye For An Eye Rule of Three	Posted - 2008.01.07 22:26:00 - [70] National trust/English Heritage thingies are usually good. In london you just tend to wonder around and go to what you want. -------- The Derek Quote Pyramid
Mtthias Clemi Gallente The Space Bastards	Posted - 2008.01.07 22:46:00 - [71] COME TO ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS!!!! Im going to keep getting louder till someone listens damn you!!!!
Paulo Damarr	Posted - 2008.01.07 23:00:00 - [72] If your in the UK for any length of time Portsmouth is a must for the Naval museum and HMS Victory, Stonehenge sucks tbh you cant actually get within in a mile of it and all there is to do is stand on a damp windswept moor usually in the rain although the visitor center has some interesting stuff. London's great just so much to see and do and the Tower of London is a day out in itself, for mountain scenery you will want to see North Wales or the Scottish highlands both have plenty of great castles to. ----------------------------------------------- My new years resolution is to give up nonconstructive posting

Stone Henge is pretty impressive, especially when you're able to get within a few feet (as I have as an Archaeologist!), but Avebury is really good, you can walk around, clamber over the huge banks. Silbury Hill is quite a sight too. Also West Kennet Long Barrow is something to see, see what they built almost 5700 years ago.

Camilo Cienfuegos Earned In Blood	Posted - 2008.01.08 04:34:00 - [78] Quote: I know you have many things in the UK, but I would never have guessed "long trips" were one of them. The Henge is practically within walking distance of London, by American standards. London to Inverness by car is approximately 10 hours. Land's End to John O'Groats is around 14 hours, which is the extent of a "long journey" in the UK. The former would be necessary if you intended to go to Loch Ness. The best option would probably be to get the sleeper train to Aberdeen, then up to Inverness. I'm not sure if there's a direct line up to Inverness, but it's not really important - you'd come to Aberdeen as it's the closest central hub between Haza, Mez and myself! Hardpoint Rigs
Paulo Damarr	Posted - 2008.01.08 05:37:00 - [79] A long journey in the UK is not always measured by distance as any regular user of the M25 and M6 can tell you. ----------------------------------------------- My new years resolution is to give up nonconstructive posting
Eval B'Stard Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2008.01.08 05:39:00 - [80] What's in the UK..... Too man bloody imigrants thats for certain sure ------------------------------------------- When we gonna see the 40km and 80km tractor beams ?
Kirjava Lothian Quay Industries Zzz	Posted - 2008.01.08 10:13:00 - [81] Originally by: Eval B'Stard What's in the UK..... Too man bloody imigrants thats for certain sure Well we are putting the barriers up soon - overpopulation is becoming a real issue regardless of everything else - for the next few years Britain is essentialy full. Look at the housing amrket as an indicator, mass demand has greatly inflated the value of property... ~Nyron Originally by: Minerva Vulcan But poor victimized Ulf...I weep lavender scented tears for you.
Vladimir Ilych Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2008.01.08 10:18:00 - [82] Getting back to this. As you might have guessed from my last post I live in London. As for the other parts of the UK I would recommend, Bath, York,Edinburgh. For the outdoors types Lakesand Peaks
Weebear Celestial Horizon Corp. Valainaloce	Posted - 2008.01.08 12:33:00 - [83] Originally by: Shin Ra Go to Scotland - but NOT Glasgow. He means don't go there immediately, go to places like Edinburgh or Stirling first and build yourself up to Glasgow.
Kalazar Amarr Veto Corp	Posted - 2008.01.08 13:37:00 - [84] Edited by: Kalazar on 08/01/2008 13:39:59 Hmm, reckon most of the things have been said already. Not sure Bristol has been mentioned though, has places like @Bristol, which is an alright place to spend an afternoon or so, and it's not too far from the centre of Bristol itself. There's the zoo up past Clifton, and there's a few decent places to have a meal around, couple of nice pubs too (even if you're not drinking). Plus it's close to Bath, which has been mentioned already, nice architecture, the Roman Baths, etc. But yeah, Stone Henge (and Old Sarum and Salisbury Cathedral seeing as they're so close), the Lake District, Cardiff (don't go to Newport though, it's a dump, the only reason anyone would ever have to go to Newport is if they're changing trains there, or they're going to the Passport Office). ----------------------------------------------
Dawson Caldari British Space Corporation	Posted - 2008.01.08 13:59:00 - [85] Football match! you got to go see one of the main teams play. Would be a experience. If your in London someone like Chelsea or Arsenal. If up north Manchester United Stadium Old Trafford or even Liverpool's. Would be quite the atmosphere, especially at Liverpool's Anfield.

That is beyond true. I live in Cardiff and have to travel to Newport twice a week to attend uni, the place really is pretty bad!

You guys are clearly spoiled by your roads wide enough to fit a tank down, and with only 1 car every 2 miles. Driving to Stonehenge can be a nightmare...
