My first love is sailing, and like most who embrace this pastime I had thoughts of a circumnavigation of the British Isles. It probably wouldn't have happened anyway, but after a few brave attempts my wife, Jill, has decreed that sailing isn't her thing, sorry, no way, isn't going to happen, forget it.:Sad: Don't want to sail solo, thanks, hence the motorhome.
We are now thinking about a long term plan for when I'm fully retired, of travelling round the British Isles by road, sticking to coastal routes as much as is feasible and sensible. We wouldn't necessarily do it all at once, but possibly in sections.
I am relishing the prospect of planning this venture over the next year to eighteen months, but there is a lot to consider, and it occurred to me that this must have been done, probably many times, and that there will be a wealth of experience out there to draw on.
Hence this post.
I'm not even so far along as to be able to ask specific questions as yet, other than to wonder does anyone know of a book perhaps that has been written on this topic, by someone who has done it?
Any thoughts, ideas, comments as usual more than welcome,
Mike
