Julie's and Stan's Road Trip to the North of England

Julie and I are off again, this time heading for the North of England.  The North of England will be new to me and an area that Julie has not visited in many a year. Northern English history includes the tales of the Saxons, the Vikings and the Northern most Roman Outposts. Of course I'm looking forward to plenty of castles and cathedrals to take pictures of.

This years trek will again be wandering the country roads by auto using three home bases. Our first base we will be in York to explore this historical World Heritage site city. While in York we hope to see the Cathedral, The Moors National park, Durham and a side trip up to Hadrian's Wall.

Our next base will be Kennelworth, where we will visit family in Coventry and take in the surrounding villages and towns. Our third stop will be Shrewsberry, using it as home base before heading to Manchester for our flight home. While we have a plan in our heads we enjoy this form of travel because we can deviate from our route as interesting opportunities present themselves.  So Umbrellas and Wellies in hand, off we go on our latest adventure. I believe this will be our only trip where Julie will not have to carry her own supply of Tea Bags. Starting Tuesday April 29, I will be posting pictures and notes every few days so Bookmark our Blog and come along with us to Northern England.
