Touring Before the
2000 Blair Atholl Patrol Jamborette

As in our last UK trips, our touring would cover a large part of Great Britain, much to the amazement of many Brits we met. For Americans, though, it was not so far - England, for example, is almost exactly the same size as the State of New York. Traveling in Great Britain takes getting used to that way - although it turns out that an American sense of distance isn't much help in estimating travel. While the absolute distance from London to Cardiff, for example, is roughly the same as from Syracuse to Buffalo, once you leave the Motorways the travel time becomes much longer - especially in Wales and Scotland. 

The map at left shows our path, more or less, from London to the Jamborette in Blair Atholl.
