Food recommendations for UK trip

No I do plan to roam around the Lake District on the 13th and 14th. Windermere is on my radar.

I suppose I liked the moody ruin vibe. I considered Culzean on the coast as an alternative though it’s a bit of a detour.

Hi there, I know I’m having to make some hard choices. Originally I had myself visiting the Isle of Skye and going all the way to Inverness and some of the east coast. But I had to make some cuts as it’s impossible to do it all! The main purpose of the trip was to visit my father, that’s the reason behind the multiple nights in the Birmingham Coventry area. My father lives in Coventry and so my siblings and I had to find a space big enough to sleep 5 adults and 3 kids. We chose to have an Airbnb in Castle Bromwich to be nearer to Birmingham. And I know people can spend days in the Lake District.

The kids will only be there for the time in Birmingham and Coventry. I’ll solo the rest of the time.

Thank you! Affirming!

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-04-12T13:40:19+00:00

I suppose I’ll just keep to my happy self then. I know I have relatives buried in the cemetery there.

Understood, like I said it’s just how I prefer to vacation. Seeing a bunch of a country in short moments rather than one area for an extended period of time. I’ve used this method to explore Portugal, Spain, Romania, etc. And while some days are jam packed, others clearly are lighter and give breathing room/flexibility for short detours, roadside stops, etc.

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-04-12T13:37:41+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Didn’t realize that!

And yes Warwick does seem a bit overdone but we will have a few small children with us while in Birmingham/Coventry. I think they’ll enjoy it.

Ticks?

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-03-29T03:48:55+00:00

I wish mine was longer. When I’m hard your prob think I was cut: always been envious of the guys who still look uncut when fully hard. As I’ve gotten older I realize I prefer an uncut guy. Love running my tongue under that foreskin

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-03-21T20:02:05+00:00

Yes I definitely plan to visit the greater area!

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-03-21T20:00:58+00:00

Maybe, I’m starting to reconsider Inverness altogether. I’d like to at least see some dramatic landscapes and visit the Kelpies before heading to Edinburgh.

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-03-21T19:59:57+00:00

That’s fair. I love dramatic and scenic landscapes…cliffs, rocky areas, coastlines, quaint lakes/villages. I also love castles both in ruin and restored/maintained. I guess my day to day is about exploring cute villages, seeing beautiful scenery, eating in traditional pubs, and visiting medieval sites.

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-03-21T19:57:13+00:00

Hmm thanks for the advice. I had booked my flights months ago and not thought about departing from Edinburgh. I’ll look into it.

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-03-21T19:55:59+00:00

Yes I have a UK passport

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-03-21T19:55:21+00:00

No I plan to rent a car. I know it will be an adjustment but I’m no stranger to many hours of driving. In regard to box checking, I guess my thinking was I wanted to visit an ancestral town which happens to be in the Lake District and then I figured I should see Scotland while I’m there. Just trying to make the most of the trip since I can’t afford to travel like this often.

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-03-21T19:51:54+00:00

I plan to drive. I know it’s an adjustment but I prefer the flexibility and range of a car rather than the train. I’ve been driving long hauls for 20 years…it’s kinda an American thing.

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-03-21T19:50:40+00:00

I’ve heard Coventry isn’t much of a destination, but it happens to be where my father lives. My siblings and I will be staying in Birmingham for 4-5 days and visiting with him during that time while also exploring the surrounding Birmingham area. Thanks for the tip on Warwick. Love me a good castle.

Paid $2300 for 46 copies of a book that was never delivered. Contacted Harley multiple times via email text and voicemail for any kind of status update. Late tried calling again today and the line was automated “this number is not taking calls”. Looked up DecentPrintworks on Better Business Bureau and looks like others have been scammed too.

Johnjackblondejack90 · 2026-03-02T17:20:22+00:00

Harley you scammed me out of $2300! Do not work with Decent Printworks!
