Read­ing is one of the great joys of being on hol­i­day, but since most of my art­icles are about trav­el­ling around Europe, I’d like to use this art­icle to recom­mend some European travel books specifically.

0EU MapMust See Europe

Published by & filed under Trips. Last updated .

There are lots of “must see” lists for Europe, but they all seem to fol­low one or anoth­er stand­ard for­mula: either selling hol­i­day links, or a blog­ger pick­ing out their favour­ites in their own coun­try.  Many of the longer lists tar­get US read­ers and include lots of loc­a­tions in the UK, which those of us in the UK can vis­it at a week­end without the time or expense of a more sig­ni­fic­ant break.  Below I will try to bring togeth­er a healthy list of the places I’ve loved and still want to see in Europe, exclud­ing the Brit­ish Isles.

0EU MapTravelling Europe

Published by & filed under Trips. Last updated .

I have already writ­ten twice about plan­ing a driv­ing trip around Europe, but since those art­icles I have also done a non-driv­ing European trav­el­ling hol­i­day, and am cur­rently plan­ning anoth­er trip. This post is inten­ded as a com­pre­hens­ive start­ing point for plan­ning any trip around Europe.

Published by & filed under Trips. Last updated .

I recently wrote about our European driv­ing hol­i­day and a couple of people have since asked me for some more detailed inform­a­tion about the plan­ning pro­cess. Unless people want to do exactly the same trip, many of the details will be dif­fer­ent, but the key things to check remain the same. Here I’ll detail how I planned our hol­i­day and what tools and sites I used, along with spe­cif­ic examples from our trip

0Ford GT on the Autobahn, GermanyEuro RoadTrip 2013

Published by & filed under Trips. Last updated .

Every sum­mer I go on Hol­i­day to the beau­ti­ful Greek island of Crete. I’m yet to go alone and this year as well as my part­ner I was joined by 2 mates, both of whom have been before. How­ever, this year, we decided to do things a little dif­fer­ently — rather than fly over most of Europe we decided to drive and see some of Europe on the jour­neys. We had a great time and the total cost was about the same as fly­ing and rent­ing a car, so we’ll def­in­itely be doing it again.… Read Full Article

0Another Réal Ale Trail — Wherry Lines Ale Track

Published by & filed under Trips. Last updated .

There are quite a few Rail Ale Trails now avail­able in the UK, includ­ing the [int­link id=“173” type=“post”]South Pennines[/intlink] one I recently wrote about. I recently had to organ­ise a stag do for a mate, and after look­ing into sev­er­al options I con­cluded the best option would be an Ale Trail in anoth­er part of the coun­try. The route I worked out has since become anoth­er estab­lished Ale Trail called the Wherry Lines Ale Track

Published by & filed under Trips. Last updated .

Recently a group of friends and I went on the South Pen­nines Real Ale Trail. This is the same Ale Trail that fea­tured on Oz and James Drink to Bri­tain. Before going into detail, a quick sum­mary — we all had an excel­lent day, and enjoyed a good few ales.
