When I moved to Yorkshire I'd never been anywhere other than cities, so I was pretty floored when I took a walk up Ilkley moor. After that I've made a conscious effort to see more of this stuff, mostly in the north, with my car and a roof tent. |

Do you know what blew my mind? West / North Wales. It feels like hardly anyone talks about Wales, but damn, it was breathtaking. Even the towns - places like Conwy seem like ye olde Britain in the most charming way. |

Just spent a weekend in Cumbria after not expecting a great deal and was blown away. I had no idea places like Ullswater and the Borrowdale valley actually existed outside of Wainwright paperbacks. It's easy to see how quaint glen-nestled villages like Grasmere inspired some of our nation's most outstanding literary laureates. |

Devon and Cornwall are rammed with holidaymakers at the minute, even with the shitty weather for the past week.

B1A60B6A-DC28-4C93-861E-0F96099DE884.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() Today I went to Tadcaster. It's the closest experience I've had to being in Wonkaville because the town is completely dominated by the relatively huge John Smiths factory, which looms over everything. The town centre felt like a bit of a ghost town, as there were many buildings in a state of disrepair which looked like they'd been boarded up long ago and many shop fronts had window frames made of wood which had long since gone rotten. Outskirts seemed alright though. |

cruce.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() I went on another random day trip to another Northern city. Today, I went to Sheffield. I am absolutely convinced I didn't get the full experience, because I got off the train and started walking, as I always do, and it seems like the whole area around the station belongs to Sheffield Hallam University, so I felt unwelcome since I went to a good university. I like snooker so I went and took a picture of the Crucible, and then I just wandered randomly and it really didn't work. There are maps all over the place, which is an excellent thing, but they are all rotated so that the top of the map is the direction you are facing rather than north, and this makes it very difficult to find anything. I found Bramall Lane football stadium, but I got there just as 20,000 miserable and angry football fans were walking in the opposite direction. At one point I even considered getting a tram to Rotherham for a 2-for-1 of Northern towns. |

GettyImages-1206908559.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() Yesterday I went to Nottingham. I was worried it was going to be an absolute shithole, based on all the areas I drove past on the way in, but that turned out to be unfounded. I was pleasantly surprised by the city centre although it was very quiet, which may have been because it was a Sunday. I bet it's a decent place to be a student. |

Corona-Stock-12-07-2021-SS-4936.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() Today I have been to Lincoln. I like the area around the castle and cathedral but there's a point near the bottom of Steep Hill, I think it's marked by an All Bar One or something like that, where it suddenly moves from the tourist area to where the locals frequent and you find yourself surrounded by window-lickers. I believe almost all of Lincoln's city centre shopping is concentrated on a single high street, so it was absolutely rammed. I'm fairly certain there was a human turd not far outside of the Primark. |

4_ABNM_MEN_04042023_STOCKPORT_62908JPG.png ![]() ![]() ![]() Today I've been to Stockport. I was pleasantly surprised because I was expecting it to be a shithole but it was alright, especially the old town. It might have been because it was a Sunday but it was fairly quiet, although I don't think there is too much to do there. There were also far more crusty middle class people than I was expecting. |

Is there anywhere nice in Lincolnshire (other than Lincoln) for a weekend away? |

There should be more travel vlogs of people going round the country looking for trouble with the local scrotes. |

lawnmower museum closed too 2.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() So, I did go to Southport today, even though I knew the Lawnmower Museum would be closed. It just sounded so appealing. Ignore whatever you see on train websites, though; it is a bastard to get to from Manchester and you will question your decision to go there as you wait in Bolton for 40 minutes for your connecting train. |

I also forgot to mention that Southport is a suspiciously fantastic place to buy a second-hand Rolex watch. I probably saw 5-10 shops selling them. Even the Cash Converters had a couple in the window. |

Yesterday was my first visit to the Lake District, well the edge of it. I did proper touristy shit, like getting the steam train from Haverthwaite to Lakeside and then a boat trip along Lake Windermere to Bowness, followed by exploring a few other places in the area. |
