Summer in England/Scottland/Irland

I´m going to England/Scottland and perhaps Irland during late july and august. Is someone intrested in a meeting and perhaps can show us around the beautiful nature and worth seeing. Maybe a cup of tea?

We take the ferry from Gothenburg to Newcastle and towards Oban/Inverness and down to Liverpool and Chester.

If not, maye someone will recomend bed&breakfast and "worth seeing" around the route?

/Håkan

looks like a great tour. If the weather is kind to you you will have an incredible drive. If it is not you will need to take care on those wet roads........
Take some warm clothes!! You will need them with the roof down!!

Didn't the sun set on England a century ago? Or did you confuse with Japan - Land of the Raising Sun :p

Weather should be nice at the time of your travels. Getting better at the moment, very pleasant in London at the mo.

Enjoy, sounds great....

Thanks, I have been there, and done almost the same trip with a Golf CDI (right-hand drive). But never in a cabriolet with left-hand drive. Challenge? Well, I will avoid the round-abouts, but I don´t think there is a lot of them in Scottland except for the larger towns

Really looking forward to visit this beautiful country again.
