I love the United Kingdom countryside. To be straight, during the spring and summer, there is nothing better. There are places with better climates, or at least climates that can just about be dependable for dependability of sunshine and warmth. Others offer spectacular attractions, historical tours, ancient wonders or stunning scenery. England can do all of these too naturally and one may query why someone would go overseas, but there you are. One year, I'd like to take the summer touring around the country on a series of fishing travel trips.
I would like to scour the fishing magazines and pick a place to go and book hotels, spend the day lazing by the water and then enjoy the extra hours of evening light trying the eateries and pubs of the local area or possibly drag on the sturdy footwear and go out along the hiking tracks and view the countryside at close quarters.
I reckon I know how I'd like to arrange such a tour, which would be to go to the fishing travel pages over the week before I want to go, select a spot inside a sensible distance of home and arrange suitable sleeping arrangements. A tour of the North, for instance, offers the geological splendours of the Lakes, Northumbria, the Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District which would be fabulous, the openings for fishing the hinterland reaches of the Tyne, Tees and Wear rivers. Then there are the tourism opportunities and the rambling facilities of the hills the rivers, the superb and historic towns and cathedral cities as well as great literary location of the Brontes and Coleridge.
Extra locations to visit give enormous diversity from east to west when you consider the flat lands of East Anglia, comprising Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. Norfolk of course gives the tackle dangler the Broads and the option of borrowing a boat and motoring out into the beautiful river systems and many inlets which are nearly lakes. From that flat extreme to the other, the Snowdonia mountains give such a stunning topography that you will go a long distance to discover finer, so finding a suitable place from the fishing magazines is not hard, so the idea would be to take long enough in one place, then choose the following one and move on.
The overall scheme would be to explore one spot, during a week or so and then look in the fishing magazines, select somewhere within, for instance, a 2 hour drive, book somewhere to stay and then drive over. 2 hours is about the right distance as the geology as well as the dialects of the residents will be at large variance with the beginning point.
Such a fishing travel tour would need plenty of time and expense to manage but in the end. I'm certain it would be well worth it. Even better if you could persuade a TV production firm to pay for it and create a travelogue at the same time!
