What is one of your favourite journeys and why? |
Travel Info Mine is going home along Snake Pass in The Peak District (Derbyshire, England). It's a beautiful, often hair-raising drive through forests, moors, lakes, hills and finally a couple of miles down a snaky 'mountain' pass until I finally see the lights of the town where I live. What journey have you loved? Travel Tips I get all nostalgic when I think about the journey from London to Aberystwyth where I was at uni. You start in the big city, drive all the way along the M4 and then you hit South Wales. Wind your way along country roads and then you find yourself on the coast with Aberystwyth a speck in the distance. Whatever the weather, it's gorgeous. Others I like their song "Stone In Love"...one of my favorites. the journey i choose is the one that takes me to the rufus stone in the new forest..when i was younger we used to go on family picnics together...it was also one of the the last places i saw my father alive... i was aged 6............ The Alaska Ferry takes the "inside passage" along the British Columbia coast, and on up to southeast Alaska, passing by coastal forests, great snow covered mountains, and glaciers. The scenery is truly magnificent beyond compare. I had the profound privilege of taking this journey back in 1983, and hope to return one day. I once went on a spring hike in hills of Gstaad, Switzerland (in the Alps) that are normally ski slopes in the winter, (I was in boarding school near lake Geneva and a group of us were on a sort of field trip). Anyway, we hiked up the hill and it was like being in "The Sound of Music" movie. Of course then it poured rain and we basically slid back down the hill, getting totally covered in mud! Take the train from Exeter St. Davids to Newton Abbot (both in Devon). The train takes you from the Exe estuary and along the coast to the Teign estuary. It's bloody gorgeous, especially early in the morning when the sun hits the sea. It runs right by thr water too, so it's really exciting on rough days (if they haven't closed the line). Oh, and it was built by Brunel :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/south_devon... |
