The Ridgeway

[funranium]

Plan at this point has us hiking Sections 1 & 2 of The Ridgeway.  This will be a three day hike with pub breaks by my reckoning.

Internet, primarily my Filthy Englanders warren_ellis and evil_egg , what is in the vicinity of Swindon that I need to see other than the things along The Ridgeway?

Deep racial memory tells me that the Swindon environs are not the most happening place.

This is an essential stop. Trust me:

Also strongly recommend a trip to Wayland's Smithy if you hadn't already planned on that.

That's part of the reason I chose the segments that I did.

Interested in a having a beer? I'm always interested in putting reality to the lumeniferous ether of people on the internet. I promise not to Litvinenko you.

Not a clue, frankly. Don't recall ever going there. Sorry.

[funranium.livejournal.com]

'Twas worth asking.

Of course, a beer to put connect reality to the internet in your case would be splendid as well. However, as I recall, you aren't legal for that yet even in Ol' Blighty.

"A beer to put connect reality to the internet in your case"

What?

Although I did have a birthday last year, so I'm 18 now. As I often quip, I can now vote, drink and look at Internet porn... guess which ones I don't do...

Me am spake wordses the good, YES!

What region of England do I need to need to be in for beer to occur?

[evil-egg.livejournal.com]

Well, a pub or an off-licence generally.

Surely there must be some Jasper Fforde related viewing? Or did he actually make Swindon up? I have no idea.

No no, Swindon is quite real. No pet dodos, though, I'm afraid.
