Travel thoughts...

[fajrdrako]

I'm considering going to The Hub 3. Does anyone have any advice for a clueless Canadian who's never been to Birmingham except to change buses? When I'm in England, where else should I go?

Or I might go to England in August or September, for one of the John Barrowman concerts, which would be better walking weather. I'm hoping to hike a little as well. Still undecided....

If you come to the Hub 3 - just fly into Birmingham International, the hotel is in a complex at the airport, no further travel required! Birmingham is quite central for everything- Stratford for culture, London only 2 hours or less on the train...

Hiking - Lake District maybe?

Hope this gave you ideas. (I live near Birmingham but have to say that I'm not into hiking, so that may need further investigation)

I will be at the Hub3, so it would be nice to meet up if you do decide to come

Stratford for culture

Ooh, don't tempt me!

Hiking - Lake District maybe?

I've certainly been thinking about that. I did have some wonderful hikes in the past on the south coastal paths - Penzance to Land's End, Deal to Dover.

I'd love to meet you at the Hub, and my other interesting LJ friends.

hey, if it's the week after the Hub, I'd come with you to Stratford (got a week off) so I can pretend I've got culture (and this is entirely optional of course!)

I don't do hiking and have the company of a 6 year old...

yeah, it'll be great to meet up

Ooh, that would be fun! I'll keep you informed. And I'll look up what's going on in the way of plays.

Hiking isn't all I want to do... Sadly, I would be happy just wandering around English cities going to plays and Barrowman concerts and shopping malls, but I'm hoping to at least get a few good country walks in.

We'll see.
