Hi there, Sienna.
Been a while since I've dropped by here. I've been on holiday back in Scotland over Easter.

Hi Eesome!
How was your holiday? Tell tell tell...
Business as usual for me and a quiet Easter.
A long drive up to the NE coast (30 miles short of Aberdeen). I took in a couple of films (Ah Dekhen Zara and The Boat That Rocked), took Son'N'Heir ten pin bowling with his grandparents and then to the Transport Museum in Glasgow (he's fascinated with trains, busses and cars). I visited the reconstructed crannog (Iron Age lake house on a platform out into the water) on Loch Tay. Visited my sister to see her and her 2-year old son. He's rushing around like a mad thing, opening all the cupboards if he gets a chance.
back for you.

Not this time.
Can't imagine getting Son'N'Heir to do that sort of distance. Took me six days when I did cycle it a couple of years ago.

Sounded fun. I've never even been to Scotland myself. I will go one day I know I will.
Where are the best places to stay?

No rear end problems for me. My left knee did give me problems on day two.
Day one: Worcester -> Chester (hillier than you'd think)
Day two: Chester -> Lancaster (not too hilly, but busy towns)
Day three: Lancaster -> Carlisle (up hill and down through the Lake District!)
Day four: Carlisle -> Innerleithen (40 miles short of Edinburgh, more bloody hills)
Day five: Innerleithen -> Dundee (via Edinburgh then through Fife)
Day six: Dundee -> Aberdeen
Total: approx 510 miles
Have plans for this summer: cycling the length of the First World War Western Front from the Swiss border to the Belgian coast. Doing my research at the moment. Finding it difficult to get enough information on the French sectors, though.

Hmm. Not sure I can really help. I've always got the spare rooms at my parents, so I've never really thought about staying anywhere else. We just do a lot of day trips to places in reach.
And I've probably done more travelling and sightseeing in England than back in Scotland. You know how it is, not seeing the places on your doorstep. And Scotland's so big as well. I've never been to the west coast at all, except as a two-year old kid.
Are you after coast, mountains, lochs, cities, museums or galleries, peace and quiet?

Thanks.
I've a work colleague whose cycle trips make mine look positively tame. Worcester to Romania. Worcester to St Petersburg. Coast to coast across the US.

Bother!! Reading the first sentence, I was quite chuffed. Then reading the second, I realised you were talking to one of the previous posters. Damn!!
Was it for Gaia Lorraine?Well, it's about time for me to log off. Cheerio folks. Have a great weekend.

My. That's a tall order. Scotland's not so small.
In fact my colleagues at work are astonished when I tell them that the halfway mark from Worcester to Aberdeen is less than 30 miles south of Carlisle. When I cross the border heading home, there's still almost half the trip to do!
